Almost an hour ago at around 7PM, one of my rats Matt passed away. He was only 10 months old and had been suffering from a large growth on his left shoulder area. This is truly one of the saddest days of my life. The worst part is that I saw it all. He was having a heart and lung attack and started twitching for about 10 minutes and then he layed down and went. I stroked him and told him it was ok and that I loved him. :( I'm so upset I need to get away for awhile so I'm going to my moms for a few days. I'm going to go bury him first. I love him. He was my baby and he will be missed everytime I look at his sister all alone in her aquarium wondering where he is. Have a good one all. Treat your pets with care, you never know when may be the last time you hold them.
