Thirteen days ago Droof died ... at 5.45 pm tonight his brother Pitch joined him in ratty heaven. Pitch had a facial abscess a few weeks ago which seemed to heal really well ... sadly over the past few days he hasn't been eating much and has lost an enormous amount of weight. The vet thinks that the abscess had eaten into his jaw bone and his mouth seems to have twisted making eating difficult. This morning Chloe and I made the decision to end his suffering but both of the surgeries we use were fully booked .... tonight when John came home he suggested another surgery that we hadn't used before .... they even had a surgery until 6.30 pm this evening and as an added bonus the vet we saw had pet rats herself. She agreed that he wasn't at all well and that he was too old and frail to receive treatment. As Pitch had been put to sleep we didn't take his body up to the wood but buried it beside Hazel the rabbit. Night night Pitch, sleep well. xxx
