Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / October 2003

Before my mom's Charlie died, he had been to the vet's twice, the second
time with little hope. The vet's office called the day after Charlie died to
see how he was doing. My mom told them he had passed on. They offered their
condolences and that was it. Today, my mom received a beautiful card with
the vet writing: you did everything for Charlie, we are so sorry, signed the
vet's name and staff.
I thought that was just so nice of them...of course, this opened up the
flood gates of tears. The vet also sent along a pamphlet about grieving for
your pet.
