Another ailing rat
Jul. 21st, 2005 11:40 pmOur senior rat, the superb Amida Lotus Rinpoche, is definitely ailing. She has trouble using most of her limbs and can currently only eat when fed baby food in a syringe. We strongly suspect that she has a tumor (or tumors) causing neurological impairment, but we can't give her steroid anti-inflammatories because she's also fighting off a lung infection and the steroids would supress her immune system. She's hanging in there, and I thought I'd mention her and post a photo while she's still with us instead of my usual habit of failing to mention them until they've died.
