I have been having a terrible dilemma. I moved across the country a month ago, and had been meaning to bring my rats via United PetSafe. That's when one of my babies got a lower respiratory infection. I took him to the vet and put him on antibiotics, and although he was getting better, I was told flying would be unsafe. I decided to leave the rats with a friend who would watch them for a month, until I visited Houston again. Well, it's been a month and my baby is still sick. The friend cannot keep my two rats any longer. I cannot fly them to Virginia without risking the sick one's life. I cannot drive, and no one can drive me there. The shelter will not take the sick rat, and I don't want him to be euthanized -- he still enjoys treats and exploring!
I am afraid my rat is chronically ill, and cannot keep making plane trips, so I'm trying to find them both a permanent home in Houston or around the area, with someone who understands how to properly care for rats. They are both friendly boys, and not aggressive. I am willing to pay for any vet bills. I just want my sick rattie to stop moving around and be settled in a good home!
