Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / September 2004I HATE making this decision :o(
Morning All, I am finding myself in the same predicament as I have found myself in so many situations with my past babies and I hate it everytime, and I'll never get used to doing it. I am going to have to make an appointment to help send Neptune on his way to Rainbow Bridge :o( He has had an upper respiratory infection for awhile now and he has been on Baytril, but this last week he has now been on steroids and has full blown Myco. He is definately not enjoying life today, and the injection he had on Friday has not perked him up, with previous ones making him very active. *sigh* It hurts me so much but I always do the best things for my babies but it's pants eh??!!

Neptune, Pluto, Ulysses, Morpheus, Jerry,Smokie, Barney, Yoda & Yogi <:3_)~~~ At Rainbow Bridge: Buttons, Patch, Cookie, Fudge, Apollo, Zeus & Ben <:3_)~~~ http://community.webshots.com/user/tarn75 I'm sorry. It is such a hard thing to do & it never gets easier. The thing that I have clung to each time is the quality of life they have now, that it is the best thing for them, and that they were loved and spoiled beyond belief. I have had to help 2 of my rats and a parakeet I had for 8 years in the last several months. I just know they are so much happier. My gang and I will be thinking of you and your baby.

He is much more active and eating hard food again! *bizarre!* I am still giving him his baby food 'cos he loves it, but going to keep a close eye on him! So pleased I cancelled that euthanasia appt, my poor baby could be gone tonight and instead he seems very happy again!!  SignatureTarn ...............

So glad to hear he has perked up, they can be such resilient little critters at times. Hope he continues to improve, positive and healing thoughts being sent his way. Tracey Thanks Tracey, I must confess I think it could be the calm before the storm :o( I can't kid myself that he has full blown Myco, he sounds chesty and when all the others are hyper, he is looking poorly again! *sigh* I'll keep a close eye, not fair to leave him for too many days like this! Even if his last few days are better quality, that is what counts eh?! SignatureTarn ...............

I was thinking to myself today that why can't she just die? So I don't have to make that decision. I know that sounds terrible, but I hate doing it. I keep waiting to see if she gets better. Just the other day, she seemed to perk up a bit. Today, she looks awful. She's skin and bones, blind, she tries to groom herself, but not doing a great job anymore. Makes me cry. Tania, I'll be thinking of you......... Sue > Thanks Tracey, > [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] >> >> Tracey Awww Sue - My thoughts are with you too. It is such a horrible decision. Neps is perkier than yesterday, but we all know it won't always be that way. SignatureTarn ...............

I know how difficult it is to go through this, knowing when to make that decision. I'll be thinking of you. Let us know how things go. Take care. Tracey > Thanks Tracey, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > <:3_)~~~ > http://community.webshots.com/user/tarn75 Poor little mite, but he is in good hands with you Tania. Animals have this sixth sense, that most of us humans seem to have lost, he will know, when the time comes, that you will do the best by him, and if that means taking him to the vets to help him on his way, he'll know it's the best thing and slip away knowing how truly loved and cared for he was. Tracey > Morning All, > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > <:3_)~~~ > http://community.webshots.com/user/tarn75 I'm sorry to hear that - you've made that decision before, so I won't bore you with a lecture on "it's the best thing...". Just to say that I'm glad you care for your ratties, even when it comes to the hardest part. SignatureRegards, Dave dave_ryman@hotmailNOSPAM.com http://welcome.to/daves.website http://travel.to/formula.one Thanks Dave. He is having a perkier day today, which is good :o) SignatureTarn ...............
