Um, if the rat was in the same house it was not a quarantine.

When the health/life of an animal is indanger I get very snippy and uptight, sorry, it's just a peeve of mine.

If there is an ER clinic, can't Merry go to the vet tonight? That's what ER clinics are for. He really does need to see a vet, please. I imagine he is in pain, and may need a cast.

I thought you could just keep the rat in a seperate room? Well I guess that me or none of my friends have ever had their rats in quarantine then because we'd have no one to give them to.

Or maybe it was 12 days....Either 11 or 12....that he wasn't with the other rats I mean. Even if it wasn't quarantine..whatever.

I've never even heard of an ER clinic. The only vets in the phone book are regular vets, and there is one emergency vet who only takes care of small animals, but every time I call him/her I get a recording..I could leave a message, but I'm not the one with the rat lol. I'll call Jynnelle..

I just called Jynnelle, she isn't home...The emergency vet in the phone book says that he/she is a mobile vet, does that mean he/she has an emergency clicnic too? I'm only assuming that he/she does because it says they do dental and surgery and I guess you can't do that unless you have a clinic lol.

Sorry Jynelle, I hope Merry gets to feeling better soon, and its not as bad as you think.

An ER clinic is the same as an Emergency Vet/Clinic..

Ok, then we do have one lol. The ad says : Mobile Veterinarian. Small animal medical care at your home. Dental and surgery. And it has the number, which looks like a cell number, so you think that they would answer it. I hope we can get a hold of them before we leave. It's nice to know that there is a small animal vet here.

Look Jynelle, IF you would save some money or have an Emergency Vet fund you would be able to take him sooner. That is the responsibility that comes with owning a pet, or two or three. Call the vet and ask if they can arrange a payment plan for you, or if your mom can write a late dated check to be cashed when she has money. You should explain yourself, because the story is changing. First his leg was broken and now he's all better? If you hate seeing him in pain, it's a good idea to get him vet care. We are not ragging on you, just trying to explain how your rat might feel. If you got hurt I am sure you would go to the doctor right?

And of course we all wish Merry gets better, we just wish his mother was more responsible. You've told us all several times that you will not get another pet until you are out of your house or have a job etc. Couldn't you have waited to get another boy rat, or girl rat until you were sure that if one should have an injury you would be able to care for them?

[tikeyas_mom]

i didnt say it is better.

I said he is starting to use it and move his fingers.

I am very responsible.

and I am sorry I dont have money.
I never do, my mom is the one with the job. and I am looking for a job.

Dont just assume i dont try.

I have tryed to phone th vet and ask abotu a payment plan of a post dated check, but they dont accept either. I called three vets in my area.

If you were responsible you WOULD NOT have gotten another animal you could not care for. Besides food, bedding and water there is also the responsibility of financial security and stability, and if you don't have that you should not be adding more pets to your household, period. To not get another pet would be the most responsible thing you could do IMO.
