Today, approximately 5am my rat passed away.
He had been struggling for a while, i first noticed this last month when his walking mobility wasnt very good, but it wasnt until last night he couldnt even open his eyes and couldnt even get up or walk, i tried my best to keep him hydrated and fed, i also give him liquid paracetamol i read that you can give it them to ease the pain while dying.
He was struggling all night and i found him at 7:30 am today (time in my country).
i made him a comfy little resting bed and thats where he died :(
this was last night before i put him back in his cage, he couldnt move or anything.
Also, my rats are also nearly 3 years of age, which these rats only live 2-3 years.
Some pictures for u guys
his brother took care of him through the night, now i will be his brothers companionship for a while
(thank u for the nice words about this, it was bound to happen eventually, and yes ive been crying about this )
