I'm sad, but far more shocked at how she died. Ivory was an almost 3 year old rat. She had a mammary tumor. It had started to spread across her chest and to the other side. Since she was so old I opted to not have it removed.
It wasn't her old age that killed her (though I knew her time was coming) it was her tumor. It had split open, opening up her whole chest. I assume she bled to death or died from shock.
I was not there to see this; my dad told me about it. By the time he found her she was already dead. I'm pretty sure this is what killed her.
