help!!! :(

before i get started i want to say the chin is going to the vet, NOW...but im 17 hours away on work and my girlfriend is taking him in, but im freaking out...



Hershy is about a year old

Anna didnt see him in his cage (and hes normally the active on...we have 2) so she went and looked and he was in his wood house(they NEVER go in there) she said he is collapsing, when he jumps is falls, sometimes dragging his back feet, his hind leg area is wet from what im assuming is diarhea possibly urine. he will randomly arch his back, close his eyes... this has been going on for about 45 minutes(from when we noticed) he is in a huge cage, with all safe wood, cleaned often... only fleece, gets filtered water from the fridge and is on oxbow pellets with an unlimited hay/pellet diet. his "treats" are those half moon shaped horse treats that are flavored like apples, they only get to nibble on them for maybe 10-15 seconds then we take them away.... suggestions? ideas? please tell me some one has experienced some thing similar :( my girlfriend will be an absolute mess over this...



This sucks :( we just had to spend $500 on a tumor surgery for our 8 month old rat =\
