    Mites?

    That happens to my rats on occasion. I checked them for mites and they don’t have them luckily (I’ve had rats with mites before so I know what they look like). It could be some rough horse play with one of the others. That’s usually the case with any rats that I’ve had. Age also seems to play a...

    Two rats need a home within a pack - London, Ontario

    Swelling in jaw

    No, Dr Mun wasn't available at the time so I saw Dr McGreggor at Annex animal hospital. If it's a tooth problem what should I do?

    Swelling in jaw

    K, here's a picture. I was able to clean out the abscess pretty well last night but the hole is really deep. It's hard getting him to take his antibiotics too. He's good at holding them in his mouth for a minute or two then spitting them out. I think they're called Novo Trimel (or maybe...

    Swelling in jaw

    Got the little guy to the vet on Tuesday. Turns out it's a glandular infection in his jaw area. Still no clue how or why it happened. The vet lanced the infected area and drained a lot of pus. Got him on antibiotics now and draining the remainder/build up of pus every day. It smells REALLY...

    Swelling in jaw

    Does anyone know what this could be? The whole side of his body is now swollen. Would children's anti-inflammatory help? Is there any hope for him?
