my rat is sick. she's been sick for weeks now. rats have the unlucky death sentence from birth of having almost 100% of having a respiratory infection at one point, and it's usually what kills them. i got my rat as a feeder rat… she was supposed to be fed to a snake. that's the reason she's born, and that's really it. i knew right off the bat that getting a rat from a sketchy lineage that she might not live as long as other rats… who's average is around 2 years. my rat is only a year old, and she's already infected with mycoplasma pulmonis. in a twisted fate of events that's literally the same thing my medical microviology exam is going over
so… not gonna lie, it's hard to hope she gets better, reading about how deadly this thing is and how poor her gene pool probably is. her immune system must be shit. this is where i hate not being a man of faith… a man of faith would have almost 100% fate that things will be okay with the rat. that "god" will have the heart to cure any diseased from a loved one. i never thought i would love an animal that's not a dog or a cat… but when i started to see how messed up Waffle's breathing is… i panicked and i broke down from the idea of her not being here anymore. i wake up to these rats running around and i fall asleep to them moving crap in their cage, and i love how happy they get when i give them cheese bits. they're not trained, they don't do cool tricks like the laundry or roll over, but they're still cute as fuck, and they're mine. i don't want anything, especially not a stupid piece of shit motherfucking cocksucking faggot bacterial infection to be the one that does it. FUCK YOU AND YOUR LACK OF CELL WALL YOU PIEC OF CRAP M. PULMONIS. GO SUCK A SHIT COVERED COCKshe's fine right now… her breathing sounds horrible, but she's still drinking water, and still eating cheese bits. i hope she gets better. i just hope that my lack of 100% hope doesn't fuck with the universe and that "god" decides to kill her off anyway. here's her stupid cute face:
i have also now decided she has a second name. it's cake. she is now known as Waffle Cake. cute af
:(
Man, I get bent out of shape when my fish or tree frogs aren't doing so hot. Lost my 4yo one-eyed goldfish (Petey the Pirate) a year ago and still miss the little booger. Just had another one of my 4+ yo goldies in hospital tank for an unknown infection.
THEY ARE MY KIDS GOT DAMNBut I do have faith so that does help. Even when it seems like there is no reason for there to be any. I hope she pulls through. And FWIW, I don't think anybody out there is keeping tabs on what people think.df - yes
os - i keep tabs os. i always keep tabs. i got them wikipedia and fb open like walmart. alldayerredaybesides that nonsense, thanks for your wishes. she's still here, so that's fucking great already.
