I have a rat with a uri and i’m thinking about getting a friend and idk if i should put them together or wait until my ratty gets better. another question i have a male already and i’m thinking about getting another male would they fight or would they become aggressive?
 
How sick is the rat with the URI? How long has she/he been sick and are they being treated?

As for the males, how old is your boy and how dominant is he?
I mean i’ve been giving him his meds which is doxy and baytril everyday morning and night and my boy is 8 months. he isn’t really agressive when around other male rats but i’m thinking about getting a baby rat but i’m scared he is going to hurt it
 
8 months is the peak time of hormones, dominance aggression. You could try a 8 week old baby but not any younger as he may not recognize baby as a rat and try to kill it. A baby is less threat to his dominance. Or an older mellow male will work.
