This is basically my journal for figuring out my elderly rat Lewis's sudden aggression. One night he just started screaming at his cage mates, Pip and Squeak, and it's been a journey of worry, vet visits, and trying to make his golden years as peaceful as possible. I'm documenting what's happening and what we're trying, just hoping to get my sweet boy back.
