Kat, you're doing a great job.
I just had two rats with acute kidney failure, one of whom died because he was put on respiratory meds instead of kidney meds. The "thatched roof" appearance refers to the hollow, triangular shape of the back in older animals (esp. males) whose kidneys are losing function. I searched the threads for a recent one on kidney, and just revived it here: http://www.ratshackforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=482587#post482587
