I hardly took any pics this weekend, but I did get footage of Dahlia being a perfect little ambassador rat.
She especially enjoyed the vegan mozzarella from our @elsaltopdx arepas

Our spicy little Lily is at the vet today after suddenly developing severe symptoms this morning. Her caretaker, @uprattedvegan, found her tilted and circling, and immediately rushed her to our vet, where they were able to squeeze her in for an emergency visit.
The update so far is that they did not find any neurological defecits, but she has pus in her right ear, nystagmus in both eyes, and while she hasn't been able to use her hind legs, they do have feeling. It's looking like a severe ear infection, which is one of the better scenarios since it's treatable. She was given a steroid injection and will start on some antibiotics.
Please keep her in your thoughts, and if you are able to donate to her care, it is hugely appreciated!

Even though he's not a sanctuary rat, I wanted to give everyone an update. A few days ago we started hearing strange vocalizations once or twice a day from our dining room, where we have two groups of rats housed. We eventually were able to track the noises to Howl's cage, but couldn't tell anything beyond that.
Monday morning, the vocalizations became frequent, and we were finally able to see what was happening - Howl was having a series of short partial seizures. So he came to work with me (the perks of working at the ER) and was checked out by the exotics team there. The seizures continued to be fairly frequent for a couple hours, but thankfully they did wind down and stop for a while, only to start again as I was about to go home. He got two injections of an anticonvulsant at the ER, and we went home with oral meds to continue. He continued to have seizure activity for a half hour or so after we got home before it let up for the night.
Yesterday (Tuesday) we got him in for an emergency visit with our regular vet. We hadn't heard or seen any more seizures since the previous evening, but they started again as we were getting him ready to head to the vet. He otherwise checked out ok, and we only made slight tweaks to his meds. We added an antibiotic in case of something like a bacterial meningitis, but unfortunately the most likely option in a nearly 2 year old rat is a brain tumor. The plan is to see how he responds to the meds over the next week or so and adjust as needed. He has been doing very well since coming home yesterday evening, and we thankfully haven't heard or seen any more seizure activity since we got home.
For his part, he's being a perfect little patient, and the good news is that while the whole "having seizures" thing isn't great, as they are currently presenting, they aren't really dangerous. He's aware and responsive throughout, and being so short we aren't too worried about hyperthermia. We'll be making some modifications to his cage to r
Harvest. So pretty, and so, so, scary. 😂

Brave little Page! We're seeing progress day by day with her body language and willingness to engage with us. I am ridiculously excited for her to gain friends her age in a few more days who can really show her what it's like to be a baby rat. ❤️
We have apparel featuring Page and Harvest by Wolfyrats Art up in our Bonfire shop!

Rattober wrap-up! We had a lot of fun this year, but I'd be lying if I wasn't a bit excited to have our evenings back. Which was your favorite?
