I am sad to say

I have had the loss of two of my beloved little buddies. Sadie, my rat, passed away a few days ago. She appeared to have a tumor growing in her abdomen. She began getting very slim despite good food and eventually started seizing. I kept her alive for a good 3 days by giving her baby food and water via syringe. She eventually died in her sleep at the age of 5 1/2. R.I.P. Sadie girl.

Also, my sweetheart of a piggie Boo-Boo (the brown one) died yesterday. The vet and I had been treating him for some respiratory issues. He was a c-section baby and has had issues with his lungs ever since he was born, so I knew this was pretty much inevitable. He wasn't responding very well to his antibiotics and I found him laying in his favorite hiding spot yesterday. He was such a sweetheart, I wish I could have helped him more.
