Well...so I thought Remy was doing ok...up until tonight. She was playing with my hand and I went to do the tummy rub on her. That was when I saw it. She has a compound fracture and her leg is wide open with a little tiny bone sticking out. She never bled and the wound isn't gross or anything. There is nothing that can be done for her. For the 2nd time in 2 weeks I will be heading for the vet to have another rat put down. I lost it when talking to my mom. I really don't think this was caused by the cage, I really think it does have something to do with the breeder she came from. My mom feels that based on all of the problems I have had with rats from Petco, they are inbreeding and their animals are paying the price with respatory problems and weak bones. She thinks this had to have been a previous injury and only became aparent once she was able to be active.
I am just sick right now. How much more can one person deal with?
