I agree with SQ...what really really breaks my heart about those 2 girls that you lost is shortly after the second one died one my my original rats got very sick very fast and we did everything in our power to save him but sadly after the 4th day there was nothing more we could do for him and he was showing no improvements so I had to have him put to sleep. People like you who have sick rats and do nothing to save them just is gut wrenching to me...How you can sit by and do nothing is beyond me. If my vet had said to me that we could have saved our baby and I didn't have the money, I would have made it somehow...Sold my personal belongings just whatever it took. The really sad thing is that I had the money at the time but all the money in the world couldn't save him!
