Hello everyone, i am new here. As well as new rat owner, had my babies for 4 months now. Few week ago had to take one of my rats to the vet. He was sneezing, snoring when he slept, breathing really loudly. But vet told me that he can hear something but it's nothing wrong? But if i want he can give me antibiotics just in case...he gave me baytril. I don't know how that can be nothing wrong. But can't say that in taking it for 2 weeks helped a lot..maybe a little better breathing in times.
Anyway, after bringing him from vet, second day i noticed scar somewhere between his shoulders and on shoulder side. and tiny scar on his back. Now they are scratching themselves but i dont know how often is considered too often, could it be mites or could it be bites from other rat.
Now one rat is aggressively grooming the one that is sick. And i can't bring them to vet, because spent all money on 1st rat vet and medicine and been out of job for some time now, so can afford another visit.. how can i know if it mites or something else
