I really hoped Spice would be with us for much longer....
He was diagnosed a few weeks back with lung disease, an xray confirmed that along with a shady area over/around his heart that the vet was very suspicious of....not heart problems though. We started him on aminophylline and this past week pred was also added. My poor little mans' feet were turning blue tonight and he started having major problems. His other brothers Fizzgig and Lightning passed at much younger ages, Fizz from a massive heart attack and Lightning from unknown causes but most likely blood clots in his lungs, so sadly this respiratory thing runs in the family.
He is survived by his brother Dusty.
Spicey was a very sweet rat, he has always been up for a cuddle and loved hanging out in HIS hammock or snuggling with his Duster brother.
Play hard at the bridge sweet man and come to snuggle with Dusty often as I know he misses you already like I do.
