Hello, one of my rats ( 2 yr old ) had a stroke and lost a lot of mobility. He had the stroke a couple months ago so I don't think he will be recovering anymore. He can't walk, he just flops around and drags himself. He will eventually get places but it takes him a huge amount of effort. This is a rat who was always speeding, jumping and climbing everything. I used to joke that he was on crack all the time cuz he was just crazy, so it has been heartbreaking seeing him like this. The only reason I have been keeping him around is because he loves food. It makes me feel like he can still enjoy something. He really likes eating and snuggling with his bother and sister. I see him trying to move around and grooming the others too. So I guess he's still got some will to live? And this is why I'm so torn between having him put to sleep or not. It would be nice to have some outside perspective. Thank you in advance
