I went to give my girlies their breakfast this morning and they'd built themselves a rather fancy nest! I think Bear did most of the work, Beeton is always too distracted with food.
I wish they didn't either! I don't think I could get anoter rat for a while, because this is breaking my heart so much. I love them to no end and to see them like this is killer.
And I'm so sorry about your sweetie ;.; thats so sad!

Well in that case the best thing to do would be to ask for some painkillers for her. Tumours that size will be causing some discomfort. I know you are doing all you can to keep her happy and cosy, but if your vet can give you some medicine for her then at least you know that she'd be feeling a little better.
I wish ratties didn't get so ill T.T my old rat Smokey had a series of abcesses in his throat and then a stroke, I had to have him put to sleep as it was the kindest thing to do. Fair broke my heart though.
So is he going to operate? I would have thought it was too late for that now, when tumours get too big then it is more difficult as there are more blood vessels and things. But if the vet says that he can do it then it would be a good idea if it would make her more comfortable. I wish vet bills weren't so expensive :[
Awww it's ok. I actually tend to get quite worried about other peoples pets. Has the vet suggested anything you can do to help her? I know tumours can be painful, so he could advise you on possible ratty painkillers. I'm sure you're keeping her snug in comfy bedding and giving her a lot of love. Bless her little whiskers <3
thanks for the sweet comments about her and everything, it's nice to have you to talk to you, you always make me feel better. *huggles* She seems to be doing alright, sleeping a little more then she used to, but I figure thats a normal sing for a older rat. She now has white behinde her ears, white fur that is, which I find really cute, but I think its just showing her health and age is taking a toll on her

Cute card. Poor Freya, how is she? Could you perhaps ask the vet for pain killers? They might help make her more comfortable. *sends you and Freya a cuddle*
