Hello everyone.
My sweetest Miss Ophélia is pushing 2 1/2 years old. She lost her best friend amlost 2 months ago, since then her health has rapidly declined. She barely eats, I have finally figured out a mash that she will eat. She refuses water as well. I have kept her hydrated with the food I am making her. Her hind end is starting to go, her eyes are cloudy, not the bright sparkling gems theyusually are. Her skin is affected as well. She is either sleeping or staring off most of the time. Just yesterday I noticed her hind legs were swollen and bluish in tone, she also tends to curl up her feet at times. This really concerns me . She can walk, but it takes her a bit to get going. I havent seen this before in rats...I wondered if its circulation ? I gave her a massage this morning on her hips, feet, and legs as well as underneath. She really really seemed to enjoy it. She also has a rattle in her chest. I an unable to get her into the vet until tomorrow.
I have not dealt with this sort of thing before. My other girl, Sammie had a pituitary tumor which progressed to the point that she just shut down snd I had to have her euthanized.
At this point I feel like I'm at a loss. Ophélia is still going but she isnt happy that's for sure. Given her age , at what point do I send her "home".
Any advice and info would be greatly appreciated.

Can you get a video of your girl? I might recognize something from a video.
