Found Molly in her cage. She can't stand, im gonna guess she had a stroke. All she can do is crawl veey slowly.Is there anything i can do for her? Does anyone know what i should be expecting will happen next? She's just resting & bruxing in my arms😥

I am so very sorry for your loss.
It may have been a stroke as you thought or another neurological event …. sometimes medication from the vet can help but often nothing can be done and the rattie will die.

I know how hard it is to hold your pet and try to comfort them while they die, helpless to do anything … but I am glad that Molly was not alone. I am sure your presence made her feel comforted and less afraid

I am sorry that a knowledgeable person was not able to respond.
For future reference, there is a medical site on facebook (Real Rat Lovers Want To Know) which has several medical contributors including lilspaz68. Given the number of medical contributors as well as their placement in different countries, people may receive a more timely response on there.

Thank you, I appreciate all the info👍🏼 XX
 
Also, if it's urgent, you can always message Lilspaz and ask her to read your thread. A lot of people haven't been on or as active lately with all this COVID crap going on..... I apologize. So sorry for your loss as well. I lost my big squishy boy, Taco, on Thursday. It's never easy to lose the ones we love....
 
Hi🌻Yeah, she died peacefully in my arms, i just cuddled her & petted her & gave her lots of xoxo til she took her final breath & she didn't suffer.
It was very peaceful, she wasnt struggling too much. I've had other pets not have it so easy. She was my one rat who had free reign of my room for the last year of her life so that freedom made her a very happy rat. Thx for everything u said, its appreciated fyi💐💐💐
And thank you so much for going out of your way so that i could find u. Situation is not really an emergency atm, i was just curious how i could get in touch w/u incase i have other questions. And now i'll know how to find you👍🏼😊
Luckily i posted my question on fb & got some good responses! I dont have a fb acct its been dormant for many yrs so i need to create a new one. Have a goodday Lilspaz🙋🏼💛💜

Yeah its the one unpleasant part but i've had 20 yrs to get used to it, n yet its still painful everytime, but its worth it -to have even a year or 2 with these precious angels, i wouldn't give that up for anything. Btw, my condolences, im sorry about your boy Taco!!
