Triple Test results and a poorly rat

The letter came through yesterday.

"We are pleased to inform you that your recent serum screening blood test has shown your baby is not in the 'increased risk' group for an open neural tube defect (spina bifida) and our estimate of your individual Down's risk for this pregnancy is a low risk of 1 in 100000 (no further tests recommended)."

Fabulous news. :)

But my little Cloud-rat is not well. He'd gotten a little fat, so we cut down on his treats, but over the past week, we've noticed he has lost too much weight and is not eating enough. He feels so skinny- can feel all his bones :( Been feeding him a little chocolate baby food in the evenings, and tiny bits of bread and banana as he won't touch his food. I don't think he is drinking much either. Plus he is making odd noises when he breathes and seems to be panting, Poor baby. I guess it is old age catching up on him. He's seeing the vet on saturday morning. I'm hoping they can help, but I have a horrible feeling that he just doesn't have long left.
