Tiny Toes Rat Rescue of New Mexico

This is what our trips to Costco look like. We buy one thing for ourselves and grab wine boxes for the rats. It just take a minute to cut an opening into them for the rats' easy access to go inside and start shredding. 🤣

🐭❤️ BABY RATS IN
PORTALES, NM ❤️🐭

A very kind-hearted lady named Meagen contacted us today as she is trying to find really great experienced homes for baby rats once they are weaned. Meagen did not realize she would become a grandmother so soon, but she sure did when a girl rat she adopted down in Portales delivered special surprises! If you would like to discuss the babies with Meagan, please call us at (505) 263-2960 and I will give you her number. Thank you.

Great news. I'm on my way to the hospital to pick up Chuck. He'll be on 3 types of strong antibiotics for a while longer to try to beat this thing. Thank you all for your precious prayers and good thoughts. I believe in my heart that it has made a huge difference for him. I'm sending you my love.

When it rains it pours. I was supposed to have an ultrasound of my thyroid today because a doctor recently felt 5 growths on it. Of course, I'm nervously wondering if this means cancer again, but I had to reschedule the ultrasound for next month as I'm needed at the hospital right now to get an update on Chuck's latest bloodwork to find out what comes next for him. I will let you know what I find out. Thank you so much for all your prayers. ❤️

This rat came to us after someone cut off his tail. Our veterinarian was able to neatly suture the skin over the end of the bone. After all this poor guy has gone through he still shows me love.

* News On Chuck
As Of 3:45 pm *

Earlier today, just before Chuck was to be airlifted to Denver for hand surgery (or possibly amputation), a surgeon here in Albuquerque said he would do the surgery right away today. So, Chuck was transferred to another local hospital by ambulance. Once Chuck arrived, that surgeon examined Chuck's hand and noticed the swelling is greatly reduced (based on yesterday's photos he saw) thanks to many IV antibiotics. So, the surgeon didn't yet want to do surgery. Chuck is in limbo again. He recently had an MRI which showed cellulitis has been added to the list of problems. We are still waiting to see what comes next, but where he is now is sure better than being air lifted to another state for certain surgery. For now, Chuck's hand is being carefully watched. Thank you all for the many prayers and positive thoughts. It means everything to us! ❤️ I will keep the updates coming.
