Well..... Sadly Doris has moved onto a better life...
I didnt get to read the post from "SatanicIntention" and "Ladydragon AKA Doris" until just today.
From what a understood from "lord jackel" Doris had head tilt.
I went home that night at about 9:10 and my mother came to me and said Doris was looking pretty bad. So I went into my room, woke Doris up, and she could hardly walk out of her tissue box. She was falling everywhere.
I put my hand in to pet her back and she started rolling around really fast.
I tried again to pet her and did for a few seconds and then all of a sudden she flipped over and grabed my hand and scared theoutta me. (but she didnt bite...)
She then tired to go back to bed but couldnt seem to get her nose into the door and was having trouble just finding the entrance.
So I said to myself, enough is enough and I'm gonna put her out of her pain.
So like I said... Doris is in her happy place. I wasn't very pleased because I had trouble doing the deed and that made it so much worse... but it is over now and had I known it could have been an ear infection I would have not done that at all... Not anyones fault but mine ( I learnt a lesson )
I just felt that when I was looking at her it was just ALL going downhill.
I felt super bad and didn't want her to have to deal with that kinda pain any longer...
I feel just sick about it now... and still every morning I wake up and look into the cage of Doris and think about her...
But this weekend I'm going to get 10 new rats from the pet store and keep another girl and breed her... well I guess Ill need to keep a guy too but I wont let him get to big that I cant feed him to Mitch or Shiri... I was thinking about naming the new rat Dorothy this time.
but anyway thanks for everyones input and next time I know that it can be a few different things and will look into more then I did this time. I just felt so bad for her, I couldnt watch her anymore. But I learnt something throughout this experience!
Thanks again!
