I hope he's getting fat on yogies right now!

I am still so sad over this. We may have a virus here, KRV. Killham's Rat Virus, which can cause sudden death in older rats and bleeding out. It also causes loss of litters in the womb, failure to concieve, and failure for babies to thrive after they are born. We are scheduled to have an Elisa test done next week, so will be awaiting test results. If we test positive we will need to quarantine for 6 months possibly. I won't be able to breed any litters, take in new rats or rescues. I am praying we have not be exposed to this. It is now all over the Northwest and several breeders have already had their rats come back positive for KRV and several other illness, including CARB. Please say a prayer that we DO NOT lose anymore rats, and that our test comes back clear. Most of the time however, KRV shows no symptoms, so it can hide in one's rattery for an extended period of time without the breeders knowledge.

I will have some idea if I have this once Honey's litter is born.
