Hi everyone.
Well, as some of you know, Matilda passed away a few days ago. I guess that one rat heartbreak per week isn't enough, because suddenly, Oreo has become very lethargic. She is just sleeping in the cage, her fur is puffy, and she has porphyrin around her nose. She is also moving slowly, and walking as if "straddling". I've noticed that in the past few days, her stomach has been extra squishy.
She is still eating, and if I let them free range, she runs around the whole room as if normal. Her breathing is normal, no whistling or wheezing, and her eyes are bright but when laying down she has them half closed. For those of you that don't remember, Oreo is my rat that had the inguinal tumor removed over two months ago: http://www.ratshackforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29812&page=30
What the F could this be? >_<
