Ohh Poor Morry ..Sigh

[Unepuce]

:sad3:

I so hope he bounces back... for good! I keep sending healing vibes his way... :heart:

 

[mamarat]

Aww sweet boy. Sending lots of healing vibes.

:heart: :cuddle: :heart: :hugs: Come on Morry hang in there - you have a lot to experience as a happy rattie in a great home :hugs: :heart: :cuddle: :heart: extra healing vibes from all of us :heart: :cuddle: :heart: :hugs:

 

[UhHuhHer]

Hang in there, buddy. You can pull through. You've got so many good things left to experience.

I wish you both the best.

I had hoped for a better update, but it is what it is. I hope he is getting some pleasure from being in a nice clean home with company and no itchy buggies sucking the life out of him, even if he's not feeling the best. :hugs:

Is his chest firm, do you think it could be PA's?

If not maybe you should try an ace inhibitor?

 

[ChrisK]

Come on Morry... sending you hugs :hugs:

His chest is not firm. His colour is good between resp attacks, he's not cool or anything like that, I just think his lungs are scarred from being so ill for so long, and then the little blood suckers literally sucking the life out of him.

aww poor guy looks so rough. Hope he has some better days ahead of him.

 

[Bundyrats]

It breaks my heart to see him like that. Come on Morry, please get better.

Last night Morry was still breathing heavily...and I realized what the heck, lets try lasix...and it seems he's stablized a little...not sure if it was the lasix but we'll wait and see, with a teeeny weeny bit more hope than before.

Just seeing him go from hauling himself around on his belly and toppling over at times to sitting upright, grooming, eating with everyone at breakfast and his breathing less laboured is a blessing. :joy:

Last night's antics...



Nell is joining this group on the bed, she's one very very happy old halfie girl...head up in the air, letting me pat her, while squeaking a slight protest. LOL She's completely parlyzed, has a huge tumour but her will is amaazing! Me? Disabled? I think not *nip*





Beaners doing well, he's chubby again :giggle:

He loves to jump from the bed to the desk, then dive into my lap, shove his head in the crook of my arm and wait for me to pat him, totally still...he will stay like that for AGES.



He's just so malleable...he's a gumby rat LOL


Until Nell comes over and then he's got to get away from her (they have a love/hate thing going on...I think she likes to snark at him and he likes to push her)



Morry this morning :heart: His expression always tells you how he's feeling

 

[Unepuce]

Your Bean seems too good to be true... although on second thought I can almost see my Jay. :heart:

Get better Morry! If the lasix is indeed working, that would mean he's got fluid in his lungs? I only used it for CHF, not sure what else it can help for...?

 

[temblabamomo]

Hurrah for lasix and good ideas on your part! I hope he can remain comfortable on it. So good to see him showing a wee bit of improvement with it.

 

[lindsayfawn]

That'd be great if the meds keep working for him! Fingers crossed.

:heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

 

[lilspaz68]

I came home to a bright, stable Morry again...give him another day and I will try enalapril with him

 

[Godmother]

Wow, that is really great news.

 

[M0onkist]

What a super love... if he were a dumbo I would say he almost looks like a worn down version of Mr. Honeycomb - at least, that's who I see in his eyes. Just a big loveable squish in a much smaller, emaciated, half-hairless body - those naked legs just kill me every time, I want to knit you tiny legwarmers to put on him!

Do his feet look a little blueish in those last photos, or was that just the lighting? It might be that the enalapril really will do the trick - at least, I hope so. Any rat who has Mr. Honeycomb's eyes should, to my mind, live forever...

 

[Bundyrats]

Go Morry! I hope the little guy gets better. Please give him a cuddle for me.

His nailbeds are what really tells the tale, they get very dark when he's having trouble and they aren't right there.

Last night he was doing quite a bit of the head hanging, laboured breathing, dragging himself around, but I gave him his lasix and left him be.

This morning I took a quick video so you could see his breathing.
