recently i have been asking questions about my rat. she has been very sick the past week or so and is now getting better. she is slowly getting back to her regular self.
here's the quick story, she had a hard time walking, as in she didn't have very good balance. she had no interest in her food or water, therefore she was slowly starving herself. she was always sleeping and would never open her eyes. she didn't move a lot, she would rather just lay in one spot. she was not active at all and was not curious at all. just some bad things. when i got deathly worried about her that's when i started to take action. all i am doing to help her is putting towels in her cage for better traction, giving her water from a syringe and making soft meals for her. giving her breakfast, lunch, and dinner. with a snack before i go to bed. i am also slowly starting to get her back to eating her regular rat feed. all of this has really helped. and she is back to her regular self, almost. she is walking tons better, she doesnt tip over as much. she walks around tons more, she will zip around the kitchen floor. she also gobbles down her food and will drink water. she always has her eyes open and ready to check things out. she will sit around and check things out, she is curious again. so do u think that she will be alright from now on? like she wont get as sick as she did? that she will survive and live the rest of her life? I'm asking this cuz both of my parents are both thinking that she is gonna "kick the bucket" soon and i think she is doing great and going strong. my spirits are just down becuz my hope is somewhat fading becuz of what my parents are saying.i just wanna see if anyone else thinks different.
thanks!
