Lulu our rat died a couple of hours ago

Just a quick note to let everybody know that our rat that was poorly died a couple of hours ago.  She had had a bad start in life and then we took her on and since then we gave her the best we could.  Unforunately with poorly treated rats they tend to get ill quicker and their life expectancy is shorter.  Weve been hanging in there as much as we could and perhaps we should have had her put to sleep earlier but she was a battler and thats why we continued treatment.

We woke up this morning and thought she had died during the night as she was not moving and was not responding.  What she was going through was the last stages of life and passed away about an hour after in my wifes hands.  Our only feelings are that we had given her the best life we could and we allowed her to live slightly longer than what she would have in the wild.

On that note RIP Lulu.
