Kyrie was a silly wee fawn 4.5 week old girl that was rat-trained to me from New Brunswick/Godmother/SQ. I picked her out along with her sweet sister Kamali.
Brie was from Hamilton Animal Control and I adopted this wee girl since she was all alone. Imagine our shock when we get there and find these 2 huuuge lumps evenly on either side of her throatâ¦one of the main symptoms of SDA! After discussion and rousing my vet from her dinner, Brie was dropped off at a non-rat owning home for the night and the rest of us went home 4 hours later, changed our clothes at the door and had a shower before going near our own rats.
Brie went to the vet who put her on chlorpalm just in case it was bacterial, but our choices were bacterial, lyphoma or SDA. I researched a lot on SDA those days. :roll:
She then went home to AliceMcMallisâs parents who fostered her, medicated her and took care of her for 2 weeks. The lumps had not diminished, we had ruled out SDA so it left Lymphoma. We decided to get a biopsy done and then I would take home my girl for as long as she had left. At this point I had only held her in the car during those scary few hours after we picked her up. To my vetâs surprise she found pus and lanced the 2 abscesses. :mrgreen: So Brie came home with me that day
She was a very special happy little gal, who really loved other rats, and took to the introâs of the THS girls I had adopted to be companions to her.
I introduced these 2 new babies to Brie, Vesta and Valora, who were a few months older.
Brie, Kyrie, Kamali and Vesta
Then to Dilbert of course
Brie makes sure the little bratty boy knows his place!
My Maritimers grew big really really fast, they all seem to take after big daddy Byron.
Then I introâd Brieâs Crew to the Hamilton crew to create the Original Rampaging Horde. :lol:
The big fawn butt on the bottom is Kyrie and Brie is at the top.
Kyrie loved comfort
So did Brie but she preferred bouncing and stashing to hammock lounging
Ooopsâ¦sorry, I was wrong :roll:
Dilly and Kyrie book-ending poor sweet sick Kamali before she passed in December 2007.
One of my favourite pics of Brie She was incredible, always "smiling" no matter what!
OK I cannot do anymore, I can barely see the screen through the tears :cry:
I shouldâve been more prepared, but I didnât realize my wonderful rats were getting older.
I love you always my babies!!! :heart: :heart:
