Yeah, I had hoped so much that it would get better, and he'd have a little while longer, but that looks less and less likely. The worst thing is, that he hasn't given up, he isn't apathetic like the last rats I lost were towards the end. He still drinks, and I see him take food in his mouth briefly, only then he can't eat, because he's gasping so badly, but he still tries. It just doesn't help him any.
