Prednisone suppresses the immune response, so you might want to discuss whether taking them off the Pred for now might be a good idea. Good luck!

The SPCA will be taking the cages. Thanks for the suggestion!

I have been checking with some rescues, but still no luck in finding anyone. Do you have any particular places to suggest?

Hi everyone, It has been a long time since I was here. I am now taking a break from rats and want to give away my cages and rat stuff. I have a Double Critter Nation, a Hagen cage 16" x 25" x 24" high, and two small cages I used for transport. The DCN is several years old so has a bit of rust...

I'm sorry you and your boys are going through this tough time. My thoughts are with you.

Your new girl is beautiful! I loves my nakies! My rats also go crazy for toothbrushes. I have no idea why, but it must be the texture. Sara does well with one eye. My Eddie had one eye, and Juno was completely blind - it didn't slow them down one iota! I can't wait to see who you pick for...

Adorable! :heart:

Happy birthday Jorats! I hope your babies will get a little piece of cake too. :toothy2:

I am so sorry you have lost your girls! They had the most wonderful lives with you. That was a lovely tribute to them. And your city is very pretty. I would have said it looks cold, but I just finished clearing a bunch of snow today, so it just seems normal now. I hope you will get more rats...

Update? ...............

Congratulations on being pulled into the wonderful world of rats. :) Ratties need a rat buddy to curl up with and keep them company. Does she have a sister you can take with her? PS We like pictures ;)

My girl Tabi was diagnosed with a PT 3 1/2 months ago. She was given a rescue injection of Dexamethasone and then started on Cabergoline with daily oral Dex. This is the longest any of my PT rats have lived after diagnosis, but I wanted to let you know it is possible. I'm sorry you are losing...

Very cool - thanks Kat!

Did everyone make out OK? No adverse effects?

Such adorable ratties!

How is your little lady today? Is she feeling better?

Such a handsome man he is growing into! :heart:

I'm sorry :(

If you won't take him to the vet for treatment, then you should probably take him there for euthanasia as it sounds like he will end up suffocating to death from pneumonia...

One of my boys, Eddie, has CHF. He is on Benazepril, Lasix and Baytril twice a day, and Prednisone once every other day. He is a nakie, and is obviously cooler than my other rats, so his circulation is not that great. He has an audible heart murmur and a slow heart rate too. But he is still...
