I just wanted to ask those of you who believe in the afterlife, to send
prayers for our Mater as he is slipping away from us. I think he knows
he is leaving here too as he will not go into the igloo he just lies
outside it. Silber is hyper and restless so I think he may know
something is happening. I will never understand why they can't just
cuddle instead of treating the dying one as something not nice :( So I
am away now to see my Mater Man. Thank you.

It's upsetting, but I suppose you have to see it as a way of protecting
themselves from catching any infectious disease the other rat might have.
I'm sure Silber would like to be cuddling up if it weren't for his
instincts telling him he mustn't.

I'm sorry about Mater; I hope he goes peacefully.

Thanks for that Rosemary, I took Mater to the Vets as I could no longer
sit by and watch him gasping. When he started to wheeze and grind his
teeth I knew I had made the right decision. Unfortunately I struck an
absolutely horrid Vet who kept referring to Mater as "The Rat" It was
iron will that stopped me from reaching across and slapping the sod !!!
We also had a stand up argument about what was the best way to put
Mater to sleep. I will never, ever go there again. However more
importantly, our wee man slipped away peacefully. I know where he is
and what good company he is in. Our huge Ratty Man family is sadly
down to just 1 now. We won't be getting anymore as I can no longer deal
with the sadness of parting.. however temporary it is... So now we have
just Silber who is really a person in a fur coat. Given half the chance
that little devil would drink anyone under the table :) You cannot
leave any alcohol sitting around with him about.
I find it a real dilemma keeping just one wee Ratty Man when I know they
prefer company. I suppose we will see how things go as Silbers
happiness is paramount.

Regards Kate

some vets are only in it for the money and don't really care all that much
about animals.
