My mom thought it was pneumonia, now I'm getting even more worried.

What do I do about my other two rats? I can't quarantine him now, it's too far along in the illness now, they've been together for too long.
 
They have all been exposed to whatever it is. Don't worry about separating him. Most likely its his own individual immune system being a bit weaker or stressed than a contagious illness for all your rats.
Pneumonia is very serious, it doesn't sound that serious yet. It sounds like a URI. BUT untreated it could turn into pneumonia. :(
 
I know, I've been reading up on it. As soon as I get the meds and get back home, I'm comming on here to make sure the doses are alright.
 
Good girl!!!

I won't be home until 12:30-1:00...I am at the vet's myself tomorrow with Bear and Fable *sniff* and bringing the 3 Tiki girls for Shannon to pick up.

PM me to remind me to check your thread, I get really vague, foggy and sad on the days I put a baby to sleep :(
 
I had him put down. He started seizing and slipping out of conciousness. There were no exotic specialists in anywhere, I didn't want him to suffer for another day or so.
 
I'm so sorry shadowpaws. Things can happen just so quickly sometimes. In a fair world all pets would have loving moms like you, and all us loving moms would have really good vets to help us help them.
I know your heart must hurt so much, but Akiva is not hurting now, just breathing easy in total freedom and carrying the love you gave him.
 
Thank you guys, I was hoping he'd be okay too. He should have gotten medical attention sooner, I feel bad about that. I think I acted when it was too late. He's better now though, playing hard and popcorning his little butt off at the bridge, I'm trying to stay optimistic. :sad3:
 
We rely on our vets. Yours left you alone in the dark. Hard to say if another could have helped or not, but the burden of not trying is his, not yours, tho you will be the one it weighs on. But the love for Akiva was yours also, and the good memories. Put that in the forefront ok? Hugs.
