Nearly 2 weeks ago I had to put to sleep my little rat dumbo. She was very ill at the end and I know I did the right thing but I wasnt expecting it to hurt this much. I've never lost a pet before and this hurts so much.
I dont think anyone understands. One even said that if they had a rat in their house they'd kill it and didnt see how this was any different. But she wasnt just a rat, she was my little girl and I loved her so much.
She went down hill so quickly. The vet said she thought it was a tumour because of her symptoms e.g. she kept crossing over her paws, had no co-ordination etc. I wasnt prepared for her to go and I want her back.
I keep looking at her cage and it doesnt seem right that there's only one rat in there. Luckily my other rat is doing ok. I've been giving lots of attention and she has lots of things to do in her cage. Initially she was a bit withdrawn but now she seems to be back to normal.
I just want this pain to stop. Every morning I wake up and its the first thing I think about. I keep picturing holding her cold body and just willing for her to wake up. How do you get through this?
