Loving rats since 2002.
A couple of weeks ago, my sweet lovely Flea has been acting off. All it was, she stopped coming out as fast as she used to. But I figured, she's 30 months old, who can blame her. She stopped eating her veggies with gusto, she just wasn't her Flea self.
Today... I found out why. My Flea is leaving me. She has a pituitary tumour and her symptoms are aggressive. From one day to the next, she is wobbly, she slouches, she can't hold her food and is becoming increasingly lethargic.
At first, I didn't want to take pics, I really don't want to remember this little girl this way but then I figured maybe it may help others identify this quiet killer. I also took a video.
Typically, pt symptoms are knuckling, inability to hold food, confusion, rolling, turning in circles and trouble eating.
Here she is trying to eat a cheerio, the video is a little dark but you can see her actions.
I really don't know how long I have with her. I don't know if I'll have to bring her in to be pts... I'll have to take each day, each hour, each minute at a time.
