Thank you Nyn 💔

Never mind, my 2 sickest boys passed yesterday. 😭

Hi, I have 4 boys being treated with doxycycline and Baytril for URI. They've been on it now for a week. This morning one of them (Larry, 18 months old) has very laboured breathing, open mouth. I gave him 2 puffs of Salbutimal through a paper towel tube and had in steamy bathroom for 5 minutes...

Oh really? I'm in New Brunswick, Canada. The only one we have is clumping :(

Hi, I haven't been on in ages! My last boy passed away in August 2021 at 37 months old. 😥 I hope everyone is doing well and wish you a healthy and happy 2022! I am finally ready to get some new little friends and I noticed that Yesterday's News pellets are no longer available. Any...

Hello, I haven't been on much lately, my last boy passed away in August, 2021, at 37 months old. I'm finally ready to get more ratties! I always used Yesterday's News for litter, but apparently it is no longer available. Lady that I'm getting my new boys from had suggested Living World...

So, I just got my four little rats neutered on Thursday. They’re doing well EXCEPT the fact that I can’t get their meds into them! I’ve spent hours trying different things! I’ve tried syringing, unsuccessfully. My hands shake a lot and I can’t handle the squealing. I’ve tried mixing with baby...

Such awesome information! Thank you so much! I’ll start collecting.

I’d like to put together a first aid kit for my boys in case of emergency, including meds from vet. Only problem is, I don’t have a clue what to put in it! Lol. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

So sorry for your loss Carollyn

That does look like quite the trip! So sorry you had to leave your boys behind. Not very fair of the godmother for sure! It still surprises me how expensive neuters are (no idea of the cost of a spay) and what a cost difference between vets. My 4 boys are getting the snip on October 25th at less...

Thanks Jorats!!! That gives me confidence to try them all together!

Thank you both for your replies!! I’ve started intros in the bathtub. Champ, my older rat, first met with each “baby” separately, then two together. Haven’t done 4 together yet. I don’t want to overwhelm him. Is this ok? Or do you think I should be doing something different. This whole process...

Thank you dspch911! I’ll be calling the vet on Tuesday (long weekend here) to book appointments. Should the boys be separated after neuter or can they still bunk in together? That will decide if I can get them all done at once or not (depending on the vet’s schedule as well). I don’t have enough...

I’m so sorry for your loss! What an adorable little boy! RIP Parker
