Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / October 2006

Sadly I made the decision yesterday to have Houdi PTS.  His bumble foot
was showing no signs of improvement and was getting worse to the point
that his feet couldn't actually touch the floor because of the bumbles.
 On pain killers he showed my sign of not being in pain as he still
wouldn't move around unless he really had to.  No life for any critter
in the end. Houdi was 31 months old.
 Houdi had a chequered career starting off his life being found in the
main street of town and being picked up by the SPCA...LOL  only to
escape from the pound a few days later.  He gave them all the run around
for two weeks before being caught in a drain pipe.  Hence the name Houdi
I gave him.  I don't think he ever learned how to walk, it was always
run here, dash there.  He was a beautiful black and white hoodie with
fine facial features.  I know my wee man is happy now with all the
others and his foot problems are no more.  Its just that I miss him.

Till we meet again my Houdi Doodie.
