I think that would be amazing!!

I will PM you so we can talk details.

I was just talking to the vet's office where I have had several rats spayed and they would be able to do her surgery on Sept 5th. That would give her some time to gain some weight back and get healthy.
Waddaya think?

Yay! A fuzzy for the nakies .... :thumbsup:

Oh my gosh, she's beautiful! What color would you call that? Such a pretty girl Bet she feels great now that's she's got a second chance at life. Fingers crossed she's not pregnant!

Joanne, I think you really need all 3 ratties
It would be a shame to split up mama daddy and their son
LOL !!!

Hmmm, I am a little concerned about doing a spay if she is almost two and under 200 grams. Maybe they are wrong about her age? We will have to see how much her condition improves to see if she is even a good surgical candidate. The appointment is booked at this time but we can change it.
Barring any complications, I will pick her up in Moncton from Mia9_28 on Sunday.

SQ, you are naughty! I'm not too worried about the boys as they will be in foster care. This little lady however, would have been in the wind if not for Mia9_28.

Aw yay! I'm so glad you're taking her in Joanne. Hopefully she isn't pregnant or if she is that she is good candidate for surgery and that it goes smoothly so she can enjoy the rest of her life with you.

 

[mia9_28]

I don't think she is actually nearly 2 years old. I'd say 1,5 years old at max. She has lots of energy. Plus the lady was telling me how she had a rat that lived to be 6 and most lived to be 4, so we know we can't trust her age judgement.. lol

She may not be healthy enough to carry a litter right now, under 200 grams and an adult rat? Poor little love. She reminds me so much of little Lumi :heart:

 

[mia9_28]

So it's set! Joanne is coming to get her on Sunday and she will be spayed! SO happy for Snow!!!! Such an amazing girl, and Joanne too!

I'm about to bring the boys to their new foster home. Wish them luck in their future home!

 

[Joanne]

Good luck boys! I hope you find a forever home soon.

See you this weekend Mia9_28!

Not surprised...you should check out my scarborough rescues thread, they were in about the same poor condition, and their weight gains were wild. NONE were pregnant

It is all Mia9_28: she is the one who got them out of that situation in the first place. :thumbup:

 

[mia9_28]

Glad to hear that it is a normal weight gain. She should be good for surgery at that rate!

Oh stop it you!

 

[trihkal]

:hello: This goes out to mia9_28 AND Joanne because you guys are BOTH amazing!!:hello:

 

[mia9_28]

Today: 235g

 

[Joanne]

Wowzers! You go little girlie!

 

[Joanne]

Well, our little lady is in the Annapolis Valley now. It was a long and sometimes bumpy drive but she fared well. She is very active, that's for sure! I was trying to think of a name for her as Snow is just not doing it for me. I wanted something more girlie. So, say hello to Tabitha, Tabi for short.
I don't think the spay will be in time though...

I hate how common it is to just toss a girl in with boys or leave them with boys. It dont make any sense at all to me. I am glad you saved her. I will be watching for updates.
