My rat had a stroke??

Exactly what method did you use to put her down?

Do I really have to give you the details... :no:
I dont really want to personally...

But next time I know a better way...
I can use baking soda and vinager and make the CO2....

I used a bag and a hard wall... usually the same way I deal with my feeders.

It's been almost a week and still feel horrible. :crying:

To be completely honest as I read this it was hard to believe some of your "sentiments". Could be I was reading this completely wrong and if so I apologize.

However, in your initial posts you said this, so I was curious.



[QUOTE=Jonny2184]Well that sucks!

I'll give her a day or more and see if she changes any, but if not I think I will put her to sleep.

Secondly, IMO if you had the time to post this info you certainly had the time to search forums for humane ways to euthanize than slamming the rat against the wall. I do believe this method is done by many here, although I am not one that advocates any inhumane treatment. But that's opening a whole new can of worms.

YEAH... I hear ya...
But If you don't think I'm sad about it... I'm not going to try to prove it...

I also did research on how to kill a pet or feeder humanely. And that id how I came up with that baking soda and vinager CO2 thing...

Now your probably wondering why would I do the research AFTER the fact.
Well... like I said I usually kill my rats in that fashion. *wack em against the wall*... Well this time, it didnt go as planned...
I closed my eyes, and gave her a good swing... but she was so big and heavy that she came flying out of the bag... and was still alive but this time in a ton more pain... "which caused me a crap load more pain too"
So I had to pickup my half dead pet and swing her again... Not a fun experience

So the next day I researched how to "euthanize humanly". Now I know for next time... and thats why I said I learnt something from this experience...

So don't worry... I realize I made a big mistake and my pet had to pay the consicenses.
Now I'm all worked up again.. gesh... sorry if I sounded kinda mean eh!!

I cannot seem to see my last post so I'm gona post it again...weird!

((Very strange little quirk there, Jonny. I only see a blank post as well...but when I click on the "EDIT" button to delete it, I can see the text that you had originally left. I'm gonna leave it as is for now, and get our technical guru (Iceman25 :D ) to take a look at it. ))

Yeah I noticed that too! Thats how I did the copy paste thing...
Sounds good to moi! no problemo!

I'm not sure what exactly your trying to prove or why you'd even be so graphic in your post.

I'm glad you finally did the research. Perhaps now at least your feeders will be humanely euthanized.

Regardless, its a shame that it had to happen this way, and I'm sure your regretable as well.

Unfortunately, out in the back woods over here there are people who do the whole wack thing. I find it is more common around the farmers. [not just rats im talkin but all small animals] my friend mike had to put down a pheasant in that fashion because a lady had hit it with her car, and her kids were in the car and freaked out. So he had to put it down in a manner that was pretty sad. *keepin it pg-13* It happens alot, and they don't really seem to care. Freaks me the eff out.

But really, how is that different from stunned rats? I don't know how they stun them. I would def prefer the CO2 chamber

I do apologize for being so graphic "ivylea77'.

But I just felt that you didn't seem to think that the whole thing really bothers me, and I thought you kinda wanted to know? and I guess I figured if I explained it in detail you would understand the pain that both me and Doris went through.

But I'm am sorry if it bothered you!

But the good news is that I'm gonna go get some more rats on the weekend, and pick my favorite girl and name her Dorothy.
I'm gonna try to hold this one more so she doesnt always want to bite me.
I was really scared to hold Doris...
