2 weeks into the virus, 11 deaths, medicating DOZENS of rats twice a day and we maybe be hittng the downward slope. 2 weeks ago today we had our first deaths, Hershel, Claire and daryl. Started the whole nightmare.
My gun boys which are 6 boys from goldie were mildly affected by it. They all had sneezes but none got very ill. Their sneezes are very far and few in between.
my group of 12 girls was 18. We pulled the 6 sickest out, my bareback twins, rj and dirk,Morgana and qwenny. Ironically they are in pairs of what they came here as. Morgana couldnt fight it
but the other 5 are doing well. Mild wheezing no crackling sounds but a wheeze still. The group of 12 were mostly sneezers but not very sick they still sneeze a bit but not as bad.
We have max and shadow who were gettng congested but didnt go much furhter than that they sound very well now. No noise and I havent noticed any sneezes.
Charlie and Iris. Charlie was very bad, he is an old boy, thinning and hed setting in. He is now doing well. Still a slight breathing problem but nothing major. Iris had a sneeze then a slight wheeze but her wheeze is gone now and she is doing well.
Clay and Opie were on deaths door, both wouldnt move, were cold and breathing horrible. They have done well but I sitll see some slight breathing issues. With opie it was in question for a while before I started him on meds 2 weeks prior but I think some will be left over scarign and may last for life.
Tank and diesel both were horrible same as opie and clay. They are now back to tryng to eat my soul.Just love those boys.
Remy and Rapunzel. Rapunzel got a slight wheeze but nothing more. Remy was pretty bad off but is back to his normal self.
Colt was horrible and one of the first we found very sick after the deaths. he has a bit of a crackle now but it is improving daily.
The most recent 5 new boys are now in 3 single males, and a group of 2. patches in the two was horrible but is fine now, his cagemate a black burk was just sneezing. dick was horrible, is alone now he is very active and just sneezes a bit. The agouti now single male, and the black hooded now sngle male are just on meds for sneezing.
my older group of girls, Jade, Pretzel, Ginger, Sweetie, Turbo, Medusa, Cashew, Jazzy, Josie, and Elvis are one that seems to escape most. Most of htem sneezed but some of my oldest girls are still doing well. Cashew, medusa were sick but not deadly sick, Josie didnt make it, Jazzy who had noisey lungs since seh came here has pretty much survived. She was pretty sick seeming but has perk up. I know her days are limited but I think she survived this. Ginger was the worst one. She was labored but is improving now.
My oldies boys, Rex, Glenn, Rick, Juney, Willy, Trey and brain. were on all the meds because they are sick and old anyway. Rex passed, he had problems before and this was to much for his sweet little body to handle. Rick is doing poorly but he was before so it isnt much more worse now. Juney has labored breathing but we will be puttingher to sleep soon I am sure she has a tumor that is growing out of control but not one we can remove. GLenn was getting pretty sick but seem to be improving. the others were not affected much as all thankfully.
My handicap babies
Liam, Roo, Lily and Willow was all we had left. Liam and lily left. Liam has been struggling to keep weight on so I knew it was coming but lily seemed ok. She was sick but then she got really sck even with the beds meds around. Roo and Wllow are doing ok, Roo is sneezign butwillow is the same brat she always is.
The 10 boys Martin, Jackson and Olivers, Grant, Sully, Daddy and the babies from astryd, are still sneezing more than I would like but no very sick boys. Sully and daddy seem off a bit but not in horrible
Bumblebee was open mouth gasping for 2 days. He is now clear. we did breathing treatments on him as well but it seemed to save his life. He sounds amazing for how bad and congested he sounded two days ago.
Timmy is fine just some sneezes.
Irish and katara, Irish couldnt make it, Katara is ok but we will be putting her to sleep soon due to tumors as well.
Abraham and Molly now, molly lost hershel and CLaire in less than 12 hours. she as alone. Abraham lost allanah so since Molly s spayed we got those two together. Abraham is havin some wheezing but hopefully it dont go any further than that.
Momma and babies are doing ok I hear sneezing but I started the babies on meds last night.Momma has been on it for 10 days now.
I think that is all of them. It has been overwhelming but another week or two and I can drop the meds down on the mild ones but my very sick ones will be on meds for a few weeks to come. I dont have anymore critical rats that are from this. My only bad looking rats Jazzy and Rick were like this previously. Keep your healing vibes coming we still need them
