A week ago I got a rat ( raspberry so named by my granddaughter ). I did some research and seen that they get lonely if by them selves so I went back to the pet shop. I got a rat from a different litter as I got the last female in her litter. The owner thought it was a feeder rat and brought her out by her tail . She placed her in a box and she was in it for about 10 minutes on the ride home. The pet shop lady said the only time they held her was when they changed the litter. I got her home and got her out and with in a few minutes she started sneezing A LOT. I noticed she had some discharge from her eye and she sort of squints her eyes. I put her in a little tank instead of putting her with Raspberry I was afraid of infecting her. I gave her food and water and turned the light off to see if it is stress. I called the pet shop and they said they didnt have any that was sick but if she kept doing it to bring her back and they will exchange her. There is no vet with in an 100 mile radius that sees rats so I am in a pickle here. Please help me save this sweet girl.
