Roxie, a paralyzed baby rat
Like 1 Dislike 0 Published on 16 Nov 2014
Roxie and several other rats were abandoned in a box outside of a Safeway in Marin County and were lucky enough to be found and brought to the safety of the Marin Humane Society before being transferred to our rescue.
Shortly after arriving, we found Roxie suddenly unable to move her hind legs. She was rushed in to treatment with Dr. Grossbard of Allcare Veterinary Hospital in Pacifica where she began treatment. Roxie had lost feeling in her feet but retained it in her tail and with continued treatment, her prognosis is good that she might regain most or all of her mobility.
Please keep Roxie in your thoughts. This little girl is still very happy, bruxing, boggling and grooming her foster mom who is carrying her with her in a pouch to keep a close eye on her.
