Does he like to be held or rocked or anything? I'm imagining what I'd do with a dying dog or baby, I guess, but just talk sweetly to him and tell him it's OK for him to go and tell him what a good rat he was and how much he meant to you. I wouldn't give him anything or further smoke him out. He's having trouble breathing and that seems cruel. His body's doing what it needs to. Just be there for him and say your goodbyes. Real sorry about your rat, Skrappie.
birdgirl73 Reviewed by birdgirl73 on . dying rat. please read One of my rats is dying, my favorite one, its put me into tears. I don't know whats wrong with him, but he has the tale-tale signs of death breathing over him. i've already smoked him up, gave him some lemon water (his fave), and gave him a little chocolate to snack on. Can you guys think of anything else that would make him comfortable before he passes? I know it sounds silly, but i really would like some help.:( Rating: 5
