What is merry? What kind of animal?
Oh dear. :( What happened?? Poor Merry. Hope he gets well soon.
Aww, so sorry to hear that:( How did it happen?
Hope he gets better soon.
Poor Merry. (He's one of your ratties, right?) Snuggles to him from me!
Did he get in a fight with the new rat? Are you getting him medical treatment? How's he doing? What happened? :confused:
Poor Merry. Merry is a rat......
What happened? Did he fight with your new rat? You should know that intros with older males can sometimes not go so well. Are you sure it is broken? He NEEDS to see a vet ASAP! Broken legs are not fun. He may need an amputation or to be casted.
It wasn't from a fight with another rat; Merry loves the new ratty. Anyways his leg is not broken, because he is now moving it and his toes are moving. He took some tylenol and he'll be going to the vets on Monday. :) I'll let Jynnelle explain the rest if she wants.

Well then the only thing that can be assumed is one of her dogs or cats. How do you know it's not broken if he hasn't been to a vet? If he's in pain and has an injury he needs to go to the vet TONIGHT, NOT Monday! Just because his toes are moving does not mean his leg is not broken.
Exactly how long has Nimbus been quarantined. Is she really asking for more medical problems or what!?!?!?! :rolleyes:Quote:

Just because the rat is not screaming in pain, not walking, with a dislocated leg hanging by tendons does not mean it is not broken. It's either broken or fractured.
He has to wait until MONDAY!? Poor, poor, poor, rat- God, how terrible. Hope you hang in there Merry.
OH jynnelle! I'm praying for merry..
G.W.S merry! :)
Hey now, back off and don't jump to conclusions everybody.
*gentle kisses for Merry*
Well he's been walking on it, he can grab with his fist, etc. All of the vets in town are closed, and I already called the only emergency vet in town to see if they could give me some advice so I can tell Jynnelle, but they won't answer their phone. I suppose I could leave a message. It's a possibility that Jynnelle's mom can take Merry tomorrow, because Jynnelle won't be home until Sunday, but like I said, things can change and so I'll let Jynnelle explain further as I only talked to her a few hours ago.
Well hopefully he can get into a vet soon. I hope he recovers.
No need to get snippy. He was quarantined for 11 days. It would have been for two weeks, but Jynnelle's mom didn't like the rat being in her brother's room.Quote:
