This myst be "pet-get-sick" week. I'm sorry to hear about Peaches. I didn't realize rats have such a short lifespan (short compared to us, of course). That's sad news.
In other sick pet news, Jack is home but he's nove very happy. He is having some post-catheter pain and he's pretty uncomfortable.
The worse news of the day is that Lyra (our caligo girlie) is has chronic renal faliure. She's been looking worse and worse over the past couple of days. We'll see when the bloodwork comes back tomorrow just how bad it is, but it seems that it is pretty bad and she may not be with us very much longer. We thought she ws 13, but the doctor thinks she is probably 16. She's had a long life and used many of her 9 lives already. I just have to wait for the bloodwork to see what sort of decision we made and when. I'm not going to let her suffer but I'm not going to torture her with SQ fluids either. I'll know more tomorrow morning.
She's already outlived all of our previous cats.
Poor Grumpy Girlie.
