Hi Everyone, Can anyone tell me the dosing for Revolution Puppy/Kitten for an adult rat with mites/lice? Thanks, Tara

So glad they are settling in. I have not yet gotten used to the fact i don't have rats. I keep going into the rat room to check on them and no one is there. I am SO thankful that Lyndsy has taken them in and will be such a wonderful home for them.

Although i do not know his exact age, i got Boober and his brother Pedley through a friend who could no longer care for them. I got them in November of 2007 and they were already adults. I am going to assume they were just under a year old. If i estimate Boober's birth at March 2007 this...

Thank you so much for your thoughtful words. I am still having a hard time with it but your comments are making it much easier. Thanks to all of you!

We put Boober to sleep yesterday afternoon. I work at my clinic so i bought him with me to work and he spent most of the day cuddling on my lap. He had a very nice last day. The euthanasia did not go as well as i had hoped. It took longer for the gas to take effect and Boober did struggle...

Thanks everyone. I have made an appointment with my vet today. She will be going away for the weekend as of Thursday so i don't want to risk anything. Its such a hard decision.... He clearly looks uncomfortable but he still wants to be able to do everything... Its so sad! I have to remember...

My rat Boober is probably around 3 years old. He has been showing his age lately but in the past few days i have noticed a sharp decline: His mobility has decreased and he falls over frequently, he has lost weight and muscle mass and his breathing is always labored. He is just not acting...

Boober is really showing his age lately so i think i will wait until he passes on, i wouldn't want to stress him out right at the end of his life. So it would be three cuties pies that would be coming with the FN. That will give more room for everyone as well.

How many boys would you have in the FN if you took my boys too? My guys are very sweet, none of these guys ever started fights with my previous ratties. I have had 8 rats in the FN at one time.

But you have girls... would you make the FN two separate levels? My boys are used to having the whole thing.

That's great to hear! I'm sl glad they are doing well.

No matter what happens a portion of my rattie stuff will be going to a rescue, how much will depend on what happens. I have even more cages then the three i listed and they will be going to a rescue (i need to sort through everything one day). However i don't want my boys taking up much-needed...

Hi Everyone, Its been ages since i have posted on here, and i used to post all the time. My life has been changing dramatically in the past year or so and as i look down the road it will be changing more. Unfortunately my lovely ratties have been taking a backseat the past year and my time...

We said good bye to my special little guy yesterday. We decided to stop fighting the huge abscess that was invading his face to the point where his jaw was so crooked he could no longer eat. He had a fun last night playing with his friends and cuddling in the big hammock. He was PTS Monday...

Having just put a rat to sleep for the first time, i will share my experience here as well. We used Iso gas to sedate him. How to deliver the iso gas seems different from vet to vet. My vet did it a really clever way: We used a syringe case: the larger syringes come in big plastic cases. One...

So on Monday morning we said good bye to dear little Gumby. The euthanasia went really well. I know there is a post going on about the best methods so i will describe how my vet did it. We used Iso gas to sedate him. How to deliver the iso gas seems different from vet to vet. My vet did it...

I just got back from my clinic. My vet looked at him and gave him a homeopathic remedy to help him until tomorrow. We don't do surgeries at our clinic so we do not have any iso gas. We will be getting some tomorrow from another clinic and we will say goodbye to Gumby tomorrow morning. I will...
