Lola my daughter's rattie girl is dying. Old age. I knew it was coming but it's never easy. Lola lives with me now and has for the past 3 months. Yesterday I picked her up before I went to work, I could tell it would not be long................. I held her and she wanted to be held and then I looked down at my uniform and there were all these little brown specks. Mites, she has mites. I have no idea where they came from. The bunnies, or hammy, cats don't have any that I can see and I looked. I had Lola outside on nice days in her cage, maybe they came from there or the bedding. I have never had mites before.
The saddiest thing is that she wants to be held, and I have to put plastic on myself and put a washcloth around her so I don't get the mites. She is so sad looking. It just makes me cry to see her so sad with these da** mites. I thought she would be at the RB by this morning, hoping in fact............ I can't let her suffer any more. Benny has an app at 11 and I will take Lola with me and have the vet put her down and check on the mites. I have always tried to be there for my fur children when their time comes holding them and comforting them and this mite thing is keeping me from this. It is awful.
Please say a pray for this sweet little creature. Her favorite treats were eggs, cucumbers along with corn on the cob. There must be a special place for her at the RB for she certainly deserves it.
