EDK, You're quite composed - I won't even leave for a commit for her - might get myself evicted off this site....
 
I've been following this post all evening, I felt sorry for the young girl but now I've read what EDK wrote I'm shocked. I've almost been in tears just reading about this. I live the other side of the world if I could have helped I would but if she is refusing help that's selfish why would you let your pet suffer like that. :sad3:
 
Yes this girl is 14 BUT 14 year old aren't stupid.
She came on here asking for help and refuses the generous help offered.
I DON'T GET IT. :gaah:
Then we find out she's selling rats for snack food? :wallbang:
So this young girl refuses help and would rather have her rat suffer and die?
I'm sorry but this girl isn't acting smart at all.
If she's just doing this for attention and has no intention of using the help offered then she's a dope.
Makes me angry how some people treat the pets they claim to love. :rant:
Heaven help any other animals that end up in her home. :(
 
Well, we don't know the whole story. We don't know if her parents prohibited her from taking her to the vet, or what.. I had parents who did that. It was horrifying to watch my cat's leg rot half off before they left him at a shelter because they didn't see him the same as a dog. Or my hamster who got dumped outside when he bit me. Or my Monitor who was dumped in fear of her biting.. It sucks BIG time, but if the parents are set, nothing we do or say will change it - we're a bunch of rat weirdos on the internet talking to their kid over their dying rat. Most people do not give a hoot about a rat or it's quality of life.

I just hope this little lady passes away with some peace.

The morality and intelligence can't be questioned due to her age.. I was 12 when I worked with Ring Dog Rescue for the first time to save an elderly Pit Bull that I had been caring for for months. We arranged transport, and kept in contact until he was dead years later in a nice home with his family.
What she's able to do.. Well I actually don't see why her parents wouldn't let her hand the poor critter over to die. Or find someone with a .22 and just end the poor babys' suffering.
 
I think they had her in chat and regadless they need to provide vet care or not allow their rats to get pregnant.
 
I really do understand that with her being 14 she has to obey her parents.
I also believe that it was her choice to breed her rats and sell them for snake food.
I started babysitting at 12 to help buy food.
I helped kill chicken's at 13 so I could get some free chicken's to eat.
I hated it.
I see no reason for this young girl to let this rat suffer when generous help is being offered.
I had pets as a child and I paid for them.
Either with chores or doing extra work for my neighbours.
I hope this sweet momma doesn't die in a tonne of pain. :(

thank you, poisoned. more logical thing ive heard since ive been on this damn site.

Your age is showing sweetheart.
You asked for help and you refused the help offered.
I really hope that your momma pulls through. :heart:
 
What matters is this poor rattie. She is the only thing that matters right now.
She needs to see a vet.
Do what ever you need to do to get her there ... people have offered to pay for the visit.
They can contact the vet and pay the vet directly.

If your parents will not provide care required for pets in your household,
please rehome your pets to good homes and do not get any more pets until you are in a position to be able to give them the care they will need.

I wish someone on here lived close enough to drive over and get her,
and to adopt the boy you are rehoming.

Thank you SQ. :cuddle:
 
Are you all retarded? I would NEVER EVER EVER sell my rat's babies as snake food. Ever. So get you freaking facts straight.
Okay? Im sick and tired of all your attitudes. I asked for help, didnt get what i want so now im done. All of you can get back to your lives and leave me the **** alone. Because now youve pissed me off. Im not a mean person, i have NEVER hurt one of my animals. You think i enjoy seeing lily like this? You think i dont cry myself to sleep seeing her like this? The fact is, i cant afford it. okay? i cant.
So all of you shut the hell up and leave me alone. You have successfully stressed me out ore than needed.
i done.

Oh, and btw, im not "refusing" help. my parents wont let people come to my house and randomly pay for vet bills. they wont. not my fault. and im not "surrender" her to any of you bitches either.
to hell with all of you.
 
I don't think she really wants our help! This poor rat is going to suffer no matter how many times or how many ways you try to get through to her that this pet, "she cannot live without" needs immediate medical care!! :gaah: It is a sad and apparently hopeless situation this helpless rat is in... I hope this poor baby passes quickly - I feel terribly sorry for this little baby and the situation it is in as well as the boys! Someone needs to take these postings and report her to animal welfare for that area.
 
That is enough of your crap you will end up banned on that note. We offered to help you and you refused let her suffer then but do not ask for help and then refuse it then come here and call us names.

You are nearly grown, can't you sit down with your parents and tell them what it means to you? Tell them that if it's not good enough to save or release her from her suffering, to help YOU? Watching something you love die and suffer is traumatizing, and they should understand. People have pledged money to get her at least minimal care, euthanasia itself is usually not expensive at all if it came to that. And you would have the peace of mind knowing she didn't have to be in tremendous pain in her last moments.

In the end, her life and death is in your hands. I hope she pulls through, good luck to her, and you.

And the payment goes straight to the vet, you never have to meet any of the people offering it.
