Bawwwww.

So I'm sitting here with Rita right now (one of my rats; the non-crazy one), and she's not doing very well. She's fairly old, and has recently taken a sudden downturn. She's tired all the time, and she's been very weak since yesterday-- she can't perch on my shoulder without sliding off anymore, and she isn't really moving much at all. We took her to the vet yesterday, but there wasn't really anything they could do. They couldn't find anything specific wrong with her-- she doesn't have any diseases or tumors (cancer is fairly common in rats) or anything. It's just age.

If she's still alive by the time we have to take them to the vets to be boarded tomorrow, and if she hasn't developed any specific problems that they could help with, I'm just going to keep her here and take her with me on the trip. We'll just be doing a lot of driving at first, and we don't really have any sort of "schedule" of activities that would affect her. If I wanted I could just stay in the RV all day, pfft. But I seriously doubt that she's going to live longer than a few more days, so.

See title. :|

Me too. D: But she's old for a rat, so. Time to go, I guess.

I'm so sorry.
I didn't know how much fun rats can be ^_^ I was surprised how affectionate they are.

Just wondering, did you name your rat after Rita from Dexter? )
I'm sorry she isn't doing well =/ I hope she gets better. *hug*

(Ahaha, no-- I got her before I'd ever heard of the show. Tyrison from the AFC forums-- I think you left before she came, but she's one of the mods now-- named her.)

We actually had to have her put to sleep this morning. :(
