Wheeee! The coolest thing just happened right now! My neighbor rescued a rat! Yay! She's a blue dumbo berkshire and she's beautiful!!! Well the sex is still undetermined. The vet (one reason why I want to be a vet, because vets know nothing about rats!!!) told my neighbor that the rat was a boy and that they will neuter him tomorrow. Well I looked at the rat and he does not have testicles so he was probably already neutered. They are not retained because you would be able to palpate them. But get this, there is no vagina either!


So it's either a neutered male and a doe with no vagina....we are at a loss lol.


The rat is being treated with Baytril for a nasty abscess on it's neck. My friend works at a vets and the owner brought the rat in to be euthanized because it had the abscess, which is totally clearing up and isn't that bad anyway!

I am so glad my friend brought her home and saved her! The vet refused to euthanize the rat. I am taking my friend shopping tonight to make sure she gets the right supplies and food. This is so exciting! The rat looks just like Meeko except blue.
