I would have to get the hubby to deal with it... Can't leave the poor annoying animal like that... While I would not take it to the vet, I would have to put it out of it's misery...

i woudl get a cat so i wouldnt ahve to deal with it haha thats what i did when i had a mouse prob! the cat sprayed once and all the mice disapeared never to be seen again!

Yep I would kill her, mind you I would not have released her, I would have pulled her neck as soon as I picked her up. I dont do rats as companions, LOL. So no dilema here. Its the peasant in me. LOL. I also hate to see any animal suffer, so no hesitation in putting them out of their misery. If she is comfortable then she would return, and the dilema would be back, so get it over with quick in my book. So yes, I think it is cruel to prolong the inevitable.

This is a tough one and in the first place I wouldn't be touching her, I would scream and get my partner LOL, but if I really really had to I would.  Yes it is cruel to just leave her and as you have already killed the others  it only seams fitting to put her out of her misery.  How??  Hmmm get a spade and dong her on the head or take a leaf out of DA's book and get the vacuum cleaner??  LOL
