thought more people would see this here, i feel like such a bad person so really you dont need to tell me what an idiot i am and how horrible i am cause I know :'(
I got another dumbo rat today as a new friend for my other 2 girlies, with all my years owning rodents and rats i can happily walk around with them always sitting and holding on well and never falling untill now sad.gif well today I had my new dumbo rat and my other 2 on my shoulders, the dumbo fell or might of been nudged by another or jumped and before I noticed she had gone under my foot sad.gif I feel sooo bad, took her straight to the emergency vet, cost £90, she isnt moving much but isnt paralized as she can still move about. however her nose was bleeding which is usually a sign of head trauma and I did hear a crack when it happened, her toenail has broken but im not sure if that was the crack as rats cant have mri;s the vet couldnt feel any obvious breakage but her jaw dosnt feel too right, however rats jaws are very flexible so its hard to tell if its out of place or not. She has had fluids and pain killers injected and she is lying on my lap atm in a blanket. Its 50/50 wether she lives or dies sad.gif
I have a syringe and am giving her water at regular intervals and she seems to be taking it, has just started closing her eyes im hoping its just to go to sleep.
