First BP, need some serious help.

Okay back from the vet, have enough time for an update before work, he weighed 142g which the vet said was a little underweight, the friend said he was 4 months old when I got him so he's almost 5 months now?

The vet was okay with what she did concerning the situation, in an emergency like that with no vets open to take him to and having no idea how long he'd been like that, he said "Not ideal, but she did what she could, of course bring him to me if you have another emergency and we're open." He wasn't dehydrated enough to be concerned about but he did say at least once a week spray him down with room temp water even with his humidity being at a good place, said I didn't need to if I saw him soaking. He looked at the photo of the rat and said it was too large and to feed him rat pups, twice a week if he'll take them. He was surprised his throat wasn't damaged but said he seemed to be okay, he was wriggling all over the place trying to get into the vets sleeves or reaching across the exam table to me, I assume he was cold and going towards heat sources, I let him ride wrapped around my elbow inside my coat sleeve on the way to the vet. Vet sent me home with his personal contact number incase of an emergency and didn't charge me for the visit, he only charged me for the poop test he did for parasites.

Just looks like the rat was too big, thank goodness I was so worried. I'm still worried, but I'm less worried. He asked me to wait one week before feeding him again even if he showed interest, told me the easiest way to see if he was going to eat was to slowly pass your hand in front of his nose, if he followed it with real interest that it was a good indication he might eat.

I feel better and the vet guy was super nice and very helpful, I just want my little Tim to be okay and go back to dangling off his branch.
