We get it, not everyone would call a rat "cute," but this little guy was an absolute sweetheart, last week! Caught by a pesky neighbourhood predator, he was looking pretty unsteady - wobbly, dehydrated, and underweight. Seemingly still in a state of shock, as rats aren't usually the easiest patients, this little pup was oddly obliging, allowing our vet, Meriem, to give him a thorough check-over.
To help with his hydration and shock, Meriem gave him a special cocktail of fluids, vitamins, and minerals. He's also on a standard course of antibiotics and is being closely observed, over the next few days, to ensure he's on the mend. 🐀
