She didn't make it.
At 5:30 Phil went in to feed her. She went into a seizure and died. RIP, little gal.
As we were trying to figure out what to do, I called the animal rescue people one more time. I got a woman we'd already talked to, and she helped a lot. She tells me that when the pups are that small, there's a 50/50 chance of survival - if they're in the care of an expert. She'd talked with experienced rehabers about our little rat after she got off the phone with us and one man said he'd *never* been successful with pups this young.
We took her into the yard and found a nice spot under some beautiful flowers.
