My boyfriend & I were vacationing for 2 weeks up at our family cottage in Sauble Beach in mid-August. We always take our dogs, cats and rats with us when we go. The second week we were there, our sweet little rat, Odin, caught his hind foot and ripped his toenail off during the night; when I went to check on him in the morning he had bled profusely all over his cage and was listless and pale. In fact, he was still bleeding, so I packed his toe with styptic powder and contacted the clinic that I had an emergency and needed to bring my little guy in asap. Needless to say, after 3 visits throughout the week for injections of fluids/electrolytes, a B12 shot, antibiotics and some critical care feeding (as he was not drinking or eating), Odin came through with flying colours and is now back to his normal, healthy self. He was such a brave little rat and we cannot thank the staff and Dr. Boyle enough for all the wonderful and tender care they gave him. We feel so fortunate to have firstly, found a clinic that treats pocket pets and secondly, been able to have peace of mind during our holiday that excellent care was not far away while on vacation. Odin would not have pulled through without Grey Bruce Pet Hospital!Read Less
