Yesterday I noticed Squirrel breathing hard and it felt like he’s lost some weight. My vet couldn’t take him today so I called a million vets and emergency vets to see if anyone 1) accepted rats and 2) could get him in. I finally found one. They did an x-ray and his lungs were basically almost full of fluid. She said she thought it was probably organ failure (this is the exact thing that happened to Moose two months ago). We had to put my poor dude to sleep. My husband wasn’t with me, so we video chatted and he got to say goodbye that way. We weren’t expecting the news to be that bad.

Goodbye, Squirrel ❤️
