:'(

It seems like I can never get a break :(

Last night I was playing with the rats, giving them fresh water, and food, and I noticed my rat, Pokey, wasn't breathing right. As I picked him up, it got worse, and worse. So yesterday at about 6:30 I brought him on my bed with me, and he's been laying with me until now.  He's not breathing as hard, but he can't walk very well, and he hasn't eaten (I've tried feeding him, but he just won't eat) I have gotten him to take a few sips of water, but not much.

Things aren't really looking up for him, But I am going to pray for a miracle. You never know. I know he's an older rat, and he didn't show any signs of being sick in the past; just recently. So I'm sure it's just his time, but it's so hard, because I love him :'(

I had started 2 posts last night, but only got a chance to finish the winners post, so I will have the giveaway post up as soon as I can. Right now I just need to tend to Pokey.

Thanks for your understanding, and also, thank you for all of your birthday wishes the other day.

Take Care!
Amanda.

    I'm so sorry Pokey's health isn't doing well. I know you are doing all you can and you should feel good that you are making him feel comfy and loved.

    I'm so sorry to hear that!! He knows you love him I am sure and that is probably making him feel better in it own. Just because he's older doen't mean he can't beat it and if (hopefully not, I'm sending all my best positive thoughts) he does pass he knows you love him and you did the best you could!! Good luck hun, I hope all turns out well!!

    I'm sorry to hear about this. Losing one of our pets is never easy - I've told my cats they're not allowed to die.

    awww this makes me so sad. I just lost a fur baby two weeks ago that had been in my life for over 16 years (cat), so I know how hard it is to see them ill and worry. Sending you all the good energy I can spare!!! xoxox

    I get so emotional over animals, I cant help it. I wish there was something I could do for you and Pokey! Just know we are thinking of you guys (and the rest of the rats too!)
