This is just a thread about my rat, Vinnie. As I was told I went to the vets and sure enough the lump was an abscess. I was thrilled it wasn't cancer. Yet a week later I was awoken to the sound of a lung infection yet again. So I took him, since the meds where doing nothing for him, and he kept shaking and his eye was bulged out. I called on sat. morning and was at the vet by eight thirty, and was told that Vinnie had pneumonia and also a brain tumor growing in his eyesocket, they put him to sleep and gave him back to me as he spent the last ten minutes of his life on my arm, tail around my thumb and his head resting on the elbow of my sweater as his breathing seemed to clear and all shaking at all ceased. He died soon after, breathing in air gently for the last time. I'm putting this up because he was a great rat, and because through out my fight with depression he was there. He never bit me, and was always gentle, laying on my cat, wanting to play with my mouse. He was amazing. He would have been three years old in October, and three year adoption anniversary on November 24th. I'm gonna miss him so much, so here you are, the last pics of my baby. I hope in the few minutes you see him, you'll love him too. Thank you all for all your help.
