At the end of the day its a rat and the other rats won't take care of it so it should be euthanized or fed off. Of course you or another human could keep it alive but lets face facts. You aren't going to give it the attention it would need to have any quality of life. If you are merely trying to keep its heart beating you aren't doing it any favors. Definitely not going to get in a debate about this one like I often do but suffice to say I think this advice works equally well for humans as it does for rats. Luckily for us, humans are better than rats about caring for our sick and injured.
    I'll agree, it should but put down, but you came off rather harshly.. Not trying to start a fight with you, and I agree with you 100% (personally I think any animal that is like that should...just MY OPINION) BUT yes, you did come off rather harsh...

    X2 though. Put it down to stop its suffering, even if it doesn't seem like it is.
