Euthanize

[GeckoX]

Dear GML,   I just got off the phone with a local pet store called PJ's Pet Centre. The woman I talked to has owned gerbils for 10 years. She told me that a gerbil with a punctured lung doesn't really have a chance. Despite the fact that I am not going to bring him for treatment, I am not going to euthanize it either. He has been drinking slight amounts of water (with vitamins in it) every half hour or so. Hopefully mineralized fluid in his stomache will help him a bit. Has this ever happened to anyone? Is there a chance Stuart will survive?   Jason
