Misto this evening

Misto still seems to be in some pain. We gave him some children's Motrin--approximately 0.13cc (from the Ratguide Drug Chart). He'll cry out in pain for no apparent reason; Abita pointed out with a chest injury (in his case, a collapsed lung) sometimes just breathing in too sharply can cause you to cry out in pain. However, he is grooming, as you can see in the picture. If you look carefully you can see where some of his fur was shaved away, just under his arm.

Oh Misto that is sad. We hope you get to feeling better and your pain is bearable. Rats don't show pain very often. Get better.
