Actually, we have only had CS in the house for a day or two now, so too soon to have tried them on the rats. Cindy adores these little friends and they give her a great deal of comfort. Most evenings, she spends time online trying to be distracted from the pain. Will have her right hand on the computer mouse, and her left is in a rat bag with one of our little friends in it. I'm certain they are good therapy for her.
We have nebulizers here and can give them aerosol treatments by putting the CS in. I'll have to report on this when the time comes for us to treat them. Mostly, we get our pets from rat rescues and they have already been fixed prior to joining us. Females are much more likely to get tumors, especially if they haven't been fixed and have not had a litter or two. Females are a lot of fun as they remain very active until old age sets in. Males get less active at a younger age and become very nice 'lap rats' who love to be cuddled and petted. And it does get to be heartbreaking when one of them dies. Our very inquisitive, fearless, and active lady, Waffles, surprised us Sunday night by keeling over dead with no warning. She was not very old and had not been ill. Cindy was heartbroken and spent hours crying. I missed out on the drama since I had gone to bed at 2 a.m. Steve G. --- On Wed, 12/9/09, Pat <pattycake29...@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Pat <pattycake29...@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: CS>Speaking of Migraines....

Three of mine had surgery to remove the mammary tumors. That gave maybe 3 more months to a couple of them. Have you used colloidal silver on them? I had one with terrible asthma, wish I'd known about CS back then.

Here is a link to my wife's attempt to put together a list of migraine remedies and so on. She was getting lost with all the info and so decided to put it together in a word document for her own use. Then, she wanted to pass this info along to some of her friends on her yahoo Pet Rat groups, but it was getting difficult since some folks couldn't open up her Word document. So, today I converted it to a web page. Migraines have nothing to do with Rats, but I fiddled around with a photo I had taken of Pongo, one of our Rex rats and turned it into the background for the page so it wouldn't just be all black and white. http://www.eatonrapidsjunkbarn.com/rats/clg_migraines.091209.htm
