Zeta: Aug 2013 to Jan 8, 2014

[Godmother]

Zeta seemed off, but I couldn't pinpoint any specific symptoms. She was closely bonded to Leto, though, and she must have missed her over the last few days. I found her dead at the front of the cage tonight. She was a sister to Emma, who had a similar sudden death a week ago. Now only Evie (my avatar ratty) remains from the group of four girls that NinjaRatMama picked up from a snake owner.

Zeta was a lovely black hoodie.

She was always a timid girl, but very sweet.

I feel so sad, losing three of that little group in one week. My only consolation is that she had a nice out time on Monday and that she enjoyed her veggies last night. Her paws weren't clubbing, and she wasn't confused, so I can only conclude that she and Emma had a sudden heart failure or fatal stroke.

RIP, dear Zeta, and run with your little friend Leto again..

So sorry to hear you lost Zeta today! I can't even imagine losing 3 ratties in 1 week, let alone 3 of the girls that you adopted together. :hugs: Poor Evie will be lonely. I'm sure she's got other friends to cuddle with though, yes? Anyway, RIP Zeta... my little, shy zombie girl. Be with your sister Emma & your adopted sister Leto. :heart:

Evie does have her cagemates Jenny and Anna. Evie looked distressed, and she was standing by Zeta's body, but she seemed calmer after my husband patted her. He has a calming touch. She's eating now, and I will give her a cuddle.

Goodness, what a week you and Evie have had. She must feel just as bad as you, losing all three sisters. It's nice your husband has a connection with her. The cage must seem so empty now!

I am so sorry you lost little Zeta. What rough week for you. :hugs: Rest well little one.

 

There's nothing worse than losing them all so close together.

Big hugs for you, your husband and all the ratties that are left. x

Thanks. The cage feels empty without all the girls. I knew that this winter would be tough, but I didn't think I would lose so many before January. And I was not expecting to lose Katie for another year or so.
