Nothing is more rewarding than working with an aggressive rescue for months and having them finally come to you for comfort. I just sat on the floor and my rescue came to me. He climbed on my lap, snuggled to my hand and started boggling before falling asleep like a saggy potato. #RescueRats

My little Boo is making a comeback.

Her PT meds have kicked in and she's feeling SO MUCH BETTER!

She's eating well and using her hands again 😊

She's on quite the cocktail of meds now!

A little agouti girly rat called Boo sits in a purple hammock. She's holding and munching on a piece of Rich Tea biscuit. Boo's cocktail of meds; an antibiotic (Baytril), an ACE inhibitor and Furosemide for pre-existing congestive heart failure, and a steroid and cabergoline for the PT.

Best friends Berry and Fizzgig ❤️

They like to do everything together so they will both be going to the Vet next week even though it's only Fizzy who needs an appointment (he seems to be having what I suspect is a thyroid issue).
