This Week Sucks Even More!!

when we got home from work last night we went to check on koda straight away. it was immediately apparent that he was worse off rather than getting better. he couldn´t sit or stand properly and lept falling over and just lolling about. it was horrible to watch. i called the vets who said that all they could really suggest was to continue as we were but if he was definately worse we should take him in. unfortunately my vet was not in that day but the head vet was available and we know from past experience that he is fantastic with small animals, so we rushed up there. it took him about 5 minutes to say that there was nothing further we could do, he was not responding to the baytrill and / or metacam and so the kindest and only real option we had was to have him pts. i had guessed that this would be the outcome of the trip but i still cried. poor koda.

when we got home we let the other rat boys down to the bottom part ofo the cage (where we had had koda seperated during his illness) and they sniffed around for him but i thought that was the best thing to do, so that his scent would gradually weeken and they would realise he was not coming home. i really miss the little guy and just wish we could have helped him. hope he is somewhere happy and pain / stress free now. love you koda.x
