  • Rats back legs aren't working? She is dragging herself.?

    My rat, Baby, is a female who i got as a baby nearly two years ago in around May and is now a full grown adult. Shes been in perfectly good health up until now. I started noticing she was walking a bit oddly around two days ago, but I didn't take much consideration to it. Now, she is unable to walk. She drags herself across my bed using her front legs, and her feet dragging behind. I'm wondering what might be the problem? Also, I've noticed one of her legs looks similar to rats who have bumble foot, like it may be developing in her leg. Her cage was really overdue for a cleaning, so I just cleaned it hoping it'll help her. If this is the case, what is the treatment for bumble foot? Is is essential that I take her to the vet? With bumble foot go away on its own if left untreated? I need some advice, Thank you.

    & her diet is composed of fresh, cool veggies (carrots, broccoli, corn etc), fruits (banana, apple, pears) pasta, cheese, i give her a bit of meat sometimes, and i usually provide a mix of seed and grains. I don't know if her diet is relivent, but I hope to find out whats wrong with her.

  • gave blood when I was B12 deficient, any food tips ?

    so I gave blood yesterday, totally had forgotten that i was B12 deficient and that I haven't been taking my vitamins regularly or getting any shots. I nearly fainted during the procedure so they stopped, and Ive been very tired and fatigued since then. I realized it'll take me a lot longer to re-develop my red blood cells because of it, so I was wondering what foods should I eat especially to help me with my B12 and help speed up the process of developing more blood. (ps, please list foods that I could find at any local grocery store, I don't want to run around the city looking for some foreign ingredient)

  • bugs from my rat's food spreading all over my room?

    I've noticed that these little brown, oval shaped bugs no bigger then the size of a pin head in my rats seed food. I've thrown out the remaining rat seed, but Iv'e started to notice them around my house. There was one in my candle, one on my wall, my mirror, and one in the bathroom. I need to know if they'll die off on their own, if they'll spread and continue to show up, and if so how do I get rid of them ? Thanks for your help.

  • can you train infant cats to get along with rats?

    So i've had two rats for about 6 months, and my neighbor's cat just had babies and he offered one to us. I was thinking that because the cats so young, and we'll probably actually get the cat around 8 weeks old, would it be possible to train it not to harm my rats and to get along with them? Let me know what you think.

  • My sims won't start anymore?

    I've been playing it for a while and it was fine, however after I did a defragement and a C drive clean and It stopped working. I opened task manager while attempting to run it and all the processes closed almost as soon as they opened. I figured that while cleaning up my PC I might have removed some of the files, so I reinstalled it but still have the same problem. Anyone know how to fix this? I made no other changes to my PC.. and I use XP.

  • what's wrong with me mentally?

    there's a lot to what I'm going through, so I'll post as much as I can.

    • while everyone is going to university and college, I'm still struggling to get through high school.

    • doing the smallest tasks seem to take so much effort

    • I have to literally force myself mentally to get through the day hour by hour, and it becomes so stressful that I end up caving into it and end up missing several days of classes, thus failing

    • It takes so much effort to get up in the mornings, and I'm ALWAYS fatigued or tired.

    • I seem to be chronically depressed.

    • I get headaches and stressed at least 2-3 times a week

    • I have a serious problem with being dominated (parents trying to tell me what to do)

    • I've lost my menstrual cycle recently

    • I find myself having mild anxiety attacks that can last for an hour at a time

    • I feel like a failure, as a daughter, a friend, and like I'm doomed to live a miserable life.

    =\ any ideas ?
