More rat problems :-(

[juliet]

Eep. Nutmeg was developing a slight head tilt, so Pete took her to the vet this afternoon. By the time he went to put her in the hospital/travelling cage, she'd deteriorated significantly & was just spinning on her side. He's just phoned me up to discuss whether we go for 2 big injections (antibiotics & steroids), or just have her put to sleep immediately. We've decided to give her the chance of the antibiotics/steroids, with a follow-up appt booked for tomorrow morning (in case they don't work; and to get more meds if they do). Meep. Very worried now :-( I've also asked Pete to ask the vet if they can give her some sort of sedative, as well, to keep her calm - apparently she seems pretty panicky (unsurprisingly, poor love).

Thumbs crossed for her...
