Nothing new with Leroy since yesterday.

Paddern was clearly uncomfortable last night so it was an easy decision to make. The other rats don't seem to notice.

So sorry to hear about Paddern. I find rats to be such special and fascinating pets (I have friends who keep them) but it would be hard for me to know our time together is limited. Thinking of you and your girls today.

Thanks

After I spoke with the vet yesterday afternoon, I called Leroy's vet's secretary to let her know that Paddern wouldn't be coming home. She knows all about the rats and even magic dog. She's one of those people who truly understands the pet bond and talking to her is like therapy. She wasn't on site at the hospital yesterday otherwise she would have gone to visit Paddern.

So sorry to hear about Paddern. Reading your posts, it's clear you take great care of your pets and i'm sure she had a great, happy life!

I had Paddern for 6 months. I got her on World Rat Day in April along with her sister Crumbis Both were about a year old at the time.

The wrap is off Leroy's leg for now. It had slipped down and was covering his toes. The surgically-fixed-struggling-to-heal wound is dry today and doesn't look bad.

RIP, Paddern! I want to believe that she knows that she was loved for her brief life. And that's pretty amazing on your part, Squeem3.
Glad Leroy's leg looks dry and better. I wonder if his slow healing is related to his fd--like it can be with humans who have wounds that are slow to heal.

Sorry to hear about Paddern. May she fly high


Sending hugs your way

I’m so sorry Squeem. You are amazing with all you handle on a daily basis. Good to hear Leroy’s leg is on the mend

I've seen folks mention this on the Libre for Pets FB group (re: one of the reasons you don't want to have the vet use harsh glue in the application process) -- delicate skin, slower to heal.

 

[squeem3]

Human diabetics have thin skin and sometimes have wound healing issues. No reason why cats aren't the same.

So sorry for the loss of Paddern. She was so lucky to live with you
Very glad Leroy’s leg looks better
