Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / February 2004Gizmo....
I have an appointment in an hours time for Gizmo. My last act of love will be to set him free.... He no longer walks he hasn't eaten or drunk anything in the last two days. He will not take anything by hand either. His breathing is not right and he is bone cold to the touch. As I write he is lying snuggled in a blanket in the sun half collapsed over his food dish.... It breaks my heart to see him like this... The shine has gone from his eyes.... I know his brother is waiting for him along with all the other animals I have had to let go .... I will write again later. Thank you all for your kind support. Kate.  Signaturehttp://community.webshots.com/user/ollieogg It's hard, but you are doing the right thing. Lots of hugs and kisses for Gizmo and for you! Regards Jackie > I have an appointment in an hours time for Gizmo. My last act of love will > be to set him free....

I know it was the right decision. Abbey ( my Vet) checked him over thoroughly and discovered one of his Kidneys was just a hard lumpy mass and also that his breathing was bad... she said she could put him on fluids and give him something to make his appetite return but all it would give him would be 2 - 3 days at the most. As we all know Kidney failure of any sort in a animal is extremely painful..:( not a difficult decision at all. It is thanks to Gizmo that I have such a love of Rats now, for that I say thank you "My Big Boy" I can imagine the welcome you will have gotten from Mr Mischief. It will be a lovely reunion. I certainly hope you don't rest in peace, I wish for you to be doing all the fun Ratty things again... Be free my baby...We will be reunited one day. Kate. I have posted pics of Gizmo today ... not how I will remember him though...:) Signaturehttp://community.webshots.com/user/ollieogg > It's hard, but you are doing the right thing. > Lots of hugs and kisses for Gizmo and for you!

You did the bravest and loving thing for Gizmo... Take comfort in his memories... I love the pic with Gizmo cuddling in your neck... what a sweetie...

But it sounds like you and Gizmo both knew it was time. I'm sure you will agree that it is a real honor that they want to spend their last hours with us holding them. And a real privilege that Gizmo and all our little friends spend their short time on earth with us.

How true..:) My Mother was saying today that they snuggle in as their way of saying thank you for looking after them... as they have no other way of showing it..:) Kind of nice..:) Signaturehttp://community.webshots.com/user/ollieogg > Sorry to hear of your loss.
