Making the choice to let your rat go peacefully is extremely difficult. Isis was gasping over a month ago. She seen a vet and had a very bad heart. I put her on meds and sadly it has only kept her going. She has always ran to the cage when I called her name tonight, she didnt. With a very heavy heart I have to take her in tomorrow.
My daughter had a rat, we got her a buddy a baby. Well she was stingy and would let me hold her. So i went and got Skittles and Isis. Isis has been a work of art, bit me as a baby like a craze lunatic. Didnt trust me for over a year to pick her up. She watches my daughter like she is a intruder and will bite her and only her if she tries to pet her.
This is hard, extremely hard on me. The tears wont stop flowing even though I know she has had a good life with me. She is about 28 months old now and I have had her since she was about 5 weeks old. Every day for the last 27 months I have seen this girl, we have grown together, she has helped blossom my love for these guys and she has helped open my home to ALOT of rats.
I am trying really hard to enjoy old age but I lose mine so fast when they start to show the signs that it makes it really difficult to enjoy.
I have secretly hoped she would go in her sleep, so I wouldnt have to make this choice but it is time.
I held her last night and I told her it was ok to go. I loved her and she has changed my life and the lives of many other rats that have been brought here because of my first girls. I just dont know how to do this one.............. I know as the one who loves her, that I have to..... It is so hard though.
