    I need help!!-RIP Sweet Lilith :(

    Yeah... I don't think it is pain at all for Lilith, it is more the awkwardness that the PT has caused her body and it pretty much has taken over now. I chose not to take her in tonight only because she is still getting around, just a little rolly, and is still eating. But with how fast she went...

    Cabergoline, Not Working... Dex/Pred?

    Lilith has been on Cabergoline for a couple weeks now. If anything she has gotten worse. I started her back on the anti-inflamatory we treated her sisters PT with that worked so well until hopefully tomorrow I can get her in. I left a message for my vet asking if we could do Dex shot and start...

    Question... What is this accessory in people's CN's?

    I have purchased all of mine from Walmart... I find them down the baby toy section. I use mine to hang toys, or hammocks with loops.

    Is cabergoline a medication you will see differences fairly quickly?

    Cabergoline, HOW do you get them to take it!?

    Thanks for those videos ladies. I saw the flaps on either side of her throat / mouth that you are talking about and I tried to stay before them because I thought I would hurt her. Good to know htat is the trick is to go past them. Will do on Sunday dose.

    Cabergoline, HOW do you get them to take it!?

    I tried to syringe half of the dose into her mouth right now (that way only half of it would be ruined if it didn't work) and I held her on her back for awhile and she was drooling and smacking her lips so much she was foaming from the mouth... I went ahead and flipped her right side up again...

    Cabergoline, HOW do you get them to take it!?

    My vet was finally able to find a pharmacy in town to order in Cabergoline for Lilith and her PT. I do not want any more doses to go to waist. A ONE month RX for ONE rat is $125.. it is a tiny bit in this bottle. She only has to take it every 3 days but I can't even get her first dose down her...

    No No No No, Not Again!

    Yeah... Her sister got it at a young age and when we began treatment she lived for another 2 months. She passed away December 31st from PT. Must be genetic. Lilith went in and again my vet is so unsure about these medications being in America. Which is so strange! She says all she has studied...

    No No No No, Not Again!

    I dealt with my first PT starting in October and going until December, with Eve. Lilith had a tumor removal on Monday of last week. Which I learned can bring out a PT or other problems if they exist. Well she is about 2 / going on 2yrs and just like her sister - is now showing signs. She...

    Surgery... (update)

    Surgery went very well on Monday! The site is a bit bigger than I expected, but he had to do a little extra work it looks like. She is doing well, not even red. Hasn't even noticed her metal stitches. Hasn't even itched them or licked at them once. I feel so lucky, lol. Her roommates don't mind...

    Surgery... (update)

    So Monday is Lilith's surgery. She lives with two girls, who are a little over 1yr old. My vet will be closing the incision with wire like stitches. He said not staples but pretty much like staples. I was curious if I should keep her in a cage by herself for a few days for healing or is it okay...

    Need Advice...wild mice

    I really don't see any other solutions. We live out near farms so the past 16yrs we have had wild mice. Even in the house but we catch them and release or the cats get to them. It's never bothered us though - besides giving me a spook when I first see them. But they don't destroy anything...

    Surgery... (update)

    As always... I am nervous! I haven't had to go through a tumor removal surgery all the years I have been lovin' on rats. But the time has come. Lilith (aprox. 2yrs) is having a surgery on Monday. The vet said it will be very easy. The tumor isn't attached to anything, it actually grew its own...

    Game- The rat below me

    Not quite! But they love to clean my teeth, tongue, cheeks, lips, nose... Haven't made it to the eyebrows yet! The rat below me likes to escape during play time and free roam around the room.

    Tip of Tail Bitten Off ADVICE PLEASE

    Update on Ella: I took her into the vet with Lilith's appointment. The vet said it actually looked wonderful. No redness or swelling and the tip had already died off from it happening just last night. All he did to help her out was snip it off with a pair of surgical scissors. Mom held her and...

    Tip of Tail Bitten Off ADVICE PLEASE

    Thanks Carol! I had my mom post that for me. It looks so ouchie but she hasn't even touched it, its like she hasn't even noticed. The skin looks nice and tight around the bone were it is, and no redness or swollen. But I did call my vet and ask and he did tell us to bring her down as well and...
