I am so sorry; she was so beautiful, and so loved by you.

 

[Carolyn]

I'm so sorry you lost her. Making the decision you did is heartbreaking, but you loved her, helped her fight, and now you've given her the gifts of rest and peace. She was blessed.

 

[Bundyrats]

Thank you and thank you all for caring, it means a lot.

Hi all,

Well it's been a while and I had meant to write this a long time ago but it was a pretty bad year last year.

I had an appointment with the dermatologist on 27th September last year for Whinny's skin problems but sadly, I had to let her go on 13th September. I decided that I would still take the other girls to see the specialist and I was gutted to find out that Chloe skin scraping showed a large infestation of short-bodied demodex mites. If only I had known this before, I could have helped Whinny, we worked for 9 months trying to find out what was wrong. It was a very low day for me.

So I'll start a new thread about the mites and also a yeast infection that the girls have to see if anyone can has any experience with this.

That must be so hard, but you did what you could with what you had at the time. And now you can treat your other girls.

That must have been a heart-breaking discovery. I'm glad it was discovered in time for your other girls. The thread you are making will be very informative to us and help ratties in the future. Thank you for sharing your experience. It may also be a good case for the Rat Guide to have.

It is heartbreaking but good to know the results. We'll be able to help our other ratties.

I'm so sorry :wrong:

 

[Bundyrats]

Thank you. I just hope we can treat this type of un-known mite!
