My Rats Passed Away. My Reaction Was...Weird? (Losing a Pet)

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

when you make it your full time job to take care of animals, you're inevitability going to face death throughout the years. this year, i've lost my rats one by one- as they became elderly, they each began to get cancerous tumors. the death of my oldest rat, dove, brought out some emotions i wasn't even aware i had been carrying around when it comes to my relationship with my animals.
let's talk about these feelings, why i have them, and how i can turn them into something better for me.

    Rats would be an absolutely top tier pet if their lifespans were even a few years longer. As a teenager I had a pair, and I'll never be able to keep them again. It's unfair that they bond so genuinely yet live such short lives.

    Had that painful journey with a hamster. Had her (thought she was male for the longest) for six years - cuddled with her before and after she passed away, burying the body in the cage's bedding. I was always interested in rats and the like but that lifespan has kept me away.

Also, I got sober around the same time you did (the first time), so I also understand what you said about that. The commentary about memories was really poetic and deep. Great job! I’m 2 years and 5 (going on 6) months sober. Best of luck to you. It does get easier once you get some traction and develop better habits. Anyway best of luck and great job!!!

    She’s not 7 months clean. She gets caught up in her lies constantly, it’s so obvious that she’s not been sober that long. The most I’m willing to give her is maybe she stopped using when she started working on this video… …And she probably will go back to using now that the video is up. That’s how addiction works, unfortunately. She needs to get help so bad. Edit: She recently admitted she was still using heroin at the time.

    One thing that helps me, especially when it comes to putting an animal to sleep, is the question “is it more selfish to keep them alive?” If, for example, you kept your rats alive that had tumors, and the tumors kept growing, you’d only be doing that to make yourself feel better. Your rats would be in pain, loose weight, probably the tumor would burst. The only one that would be helping is you, so you don’t have to feel bad about putting your rat down. Sometimes the kindness, most selfless thing we can do is let them go. We can put them down before the immense pain sets in, so they don’t have to feel that pain. It’s almost like we take the pain the would have felt if they were still alive, and instead we feel the pain of losing them. I’ve lost a lot of rats this year too. I’ve had to put down 2, and it’s never easy. Another quote I like is “we do the best we can with the information we have.” Maybe for some animals, in hindsight, we realize we could have done more for them. But we didn’t know that at the time, we did the best we could in the moment. Also, I like to think about it like this: Would I say this too my friend? One of my rats had a tumor, and I had the doubts of “should I have done more?” “Was something wrong with my care?” “Did I somehow cause it?” But I would never say that to you. I would tell you that you did everything you could, and sometimes bad things just happen. They probably had bad genetics, like a lot of rats do. Maybe when you doubt yourself you could think, “Hey, would I say this to the people who commented on my video about how their rats died?” I’m sure you did everything you possibly could for them. You’re an amazing owner as far as I can tell. I’m so, so, sorry for your loss. I hope our rats are one big rat family wherever they are now. I know my rats would keep yours company. ❤️❤️❤️

    I am so glad you made this video. I relate to these feelings so freaking much. My dog passed of cancer at the age of 7. All I could think of after he passed were all the times that I didn't appreciate him enough, all of the places I didn't take him, and that I didn't do enough for him when he was alive. We had him put down because of the aggressive nature of his cancer but the week leading up to it was so hard. He would start feeling better from the morphine and be moving around more and wagging his tail, I was convinced we weren't giving him enough time. I felt like it was too soon to let him go. But it wasn't. He was in so much pain. I miss him so much but I'll never forget how he licked my mom and my tears away right before he was put to sleep.

    My vet told me that, in regards to euthanasia, you never want their last day to be the worst day of their lives. We had my oldest rattarina and her very ill cage mate put to sleep. She was 3.5 years old, and had no function in her back legs. She survived all 4 of her cagemates and was going to lose her remaining friend to his heart and respiratory issues that were no longer manageable. I could not bear to watch her deteriorate from loneliness. So I let them go together.

As soon as he died I started to blame myself for anything I could have done wrong. But it was a disease. Making that decision is so so so hard but we have to do it.

This one hit pretty hard since I lost my cat this summer and I’m still grieving, but listening to you speak your thoughts on it helped calm some of the worries that had still be bothering me. I’m so glad you have this space to share yourself, it always makes me feel a little less alone

However, just like you, memories of her last years, months, and minutes still haunt me and I hope she was overall happy even if the last moments were probably very scary. Thank you so much for making this video

    My pacman frog recently passed from complications due to heart failure. It was a 6 month decent of caring for him and vet visits, and when he finally did pass my initial feeling was relief. relief that he wasn't suffering anymore, and that I didn't have to spend all this time fighting something I could't stop. That made me feel so guilty, but I (much like yourself) did everything I could and was there for him. There's a lot of emotions surrounding death and it changes the longer we mourn. sorry for your loss

    This is a much needed video for me. I recently had to put my dog down after almost 15 years of companionship. It was hard. I went through a lot of the same things you did. I was caring for him all day long as his health declined. I also saw life in him, he was doing better with the medications we gave him to help him move and eat. But I knew it could possibly prolong his suffering. I appreciate you making this video, as hard as it is. You help me not feel so alone in my feelings. Thanks a bunch

    Taylor… I loved your videos a few years ago and was a fan. I was so worried & then angry about what had happened in the past. Even at you sometimes. Thank you for doing the most difficult thing imaginable and coming on here to speak honestly. Since that time I have learned so much more about addiction, dv, and narcissists. I had unsubscribed at a point… and honestly I am so sorry. I’m so inspired by you coming out and telling these difficult stories and insanely personal and delicate parts of your life. I think it just shows the strength that you have within. Keep it up. I’m so sorry for your losses, but I’m so happy for your gains. I know you said you have a tough inner critic but as someone speaking from the outside…. What you have done is amazing. And I hope you will see that one day.

    Hey 👋 boo. Hope all is 😊 well. I've been addicted to heroin for 12 years now ... started at 17 years old. I'm currently 29 years old and in recovery. My sober date is 11-6-21 so I got a lil over 30 days clean this time around. Definitely feel good about staying sober this time around as I'm dealing with the underlying issues as to why I've been getting high in a positive way, and getting closer to my higher power 🙏 Jesus Christ; on top of taking Suboxone. Well just a lil about me. Your videos have helped me soo much boo 😃. Keep your head up. Sorry about your animals passing. If my lil doggo Guero were to ... it would break me heart 🥺💔😭 aww man I don't even wanna think of it as a possibility. Well wish u the best... be blessed 🙏 😁✌ 💚 GREETINGS FROM DALLAS, TX

    I had 6 rats a few years ago. They are amazing pets and give so much love. The only down side to them honestly is their short lifespans. My heart rat Molly lived to ripe very old age of 4 which is just crazy in rat years. 5 of my 6 were female and 4 out of those 5 all had mammary tumors. They all had mammary tumor removal surgery at least once. The other 5 lived between 2-3 years of age. I'm so sorry for your loss and hope you are able to recover from it soon. Huge congrats as well your comeback and recovery!

    I had my sun conure pass away in my arms. I cried the whole day , just begging him to eat and act normal. And then right before we were getting into the car for the vet he passed away. And I couldn’t stop crying Then I just immediately stop the next day and it is just like .. it never happened. I can completely shut out the grief. And I feel so awful , cause I feel like I didn’t care about them ?! But I know I did and I loved them so much. But I needed to care about my other animals. I still feel so guilty about my conure … cause i only had him a month. But he was a rescue , and I wanted to give him a better life. And he was suffering from so much. And we tried so hard to get him healthy. But he just wasn’t strong enough to be healthy. Even tho we thought he would. But he just went downhill overnight. But I am glad he had a good loving home for his last month. And he passed away next to me , not alone in a cage. Suffering from his issues. He was on some heavy pain killers , so I just hope he was not in pain when he passed.

    Hello Taylor, just wanted to say how You care and love all your pets is adorable. I loved the videos of the Betta and your pet snakes are really cool. I think it's great that you can provide comfort to those who lost a pet very dear to them. A couple years ago I tried to save a wild bunny who got in a cat chase. The bunny was dying and I there was nothing I could do to save her. I took her up to my neighbor Bethany who was a k9 Officer and animal obedience trainer to help me properly let her go. The grief at that time was intoxicating. So how You are helping others understand their grief when their loved ones are passing is a wonderful and thoughtful gift. Don't ever let anything or anyone destroy Your edge! Rock On Taylor Nicole Dean!
