this utterly sucks

sick rat... she was *fine* this morning but now is nearly dead and has the symptoms of one of the evil viruses, in which case, expect me to be a wreck for the next 2 to 3 weeks because i will be treating rats and there will be rats dying and gah, and then I will be really stressed about getting people to wait for their babies (because of immunity issues, if it is an evil virus, I am in quarantine and babies have to be kept for 6 weeks after weaning. And current babies are 2 days old so this means keeping them until they are 10 weeks.)

and I have no idea, if this is an evil virus, where it came from.

taking tomorrow off from work, hope to get to the vet.

i hate this.
