Okay, awesome ! I 100% prefer it this way. I love my little baby, she is my heart rat. I just wanted to make sure I am doing what's best for her.

Thank you for your reply! I decide I will be keeping her especially now that I've noticed her chronic lung issues are becoming worse.

Hello, lost one of my babies today and I'm down to my last rat. I don't plan on getting anymore rats for a number of reasons and I'm not sure what to do. She is 2 years and 8 months. She has chronic respiratory issues and lost mobility on her hind legs but is doing good otherwise. I don't want...

I'm so sorry you had to go through that with your boy ! Your story made me tear up a bit. Thank you so much for your reply ❤️

Thank you, will do !

Thank you so much for your reply ❤️

Hello, one of my rats ( 2 yr old ) had a stroke and lost a lot of mobility. He had the stroke a couple months ago so I don't think he will be recovering anymore. He can't walk, he just flops around and drags himself. He will eventually get places but it takes him a huge amount of effort. This is...

Glad your boy is doing good ! My girl is doing way better :)

I just recently threw out the little rest of metacam that I had cuz it was close to expiring :( don't have any liquid ibuprofen. I'll try to get some metacam from the vets tomorrow morning. Is there a way I can tell it apart from being sprayed or broken? I don't see any malformations. There's a...

Hello, just went to take one of my rats out of their cage and noticed my girl has an extremely swollen foot ( and maybe her leg a little too ). She cannot bend her toes and just drags the leg around. Vets are closed tomorrow but I will be taking her in on Monday most likely. I am just wondering...

Moderate I'd say. I noticed it more because of the scaly skin. She may be grooming them a bit more than average now that I think about it, but shes not constantly doing it. Just noticed her feet are the same as her hands btw.

Hello, one of my rats has been treating for aspiration pneumonia for around 2 weeks with Zithro, Baytril and steroids. She had been in respiratory distress for a while but is finally doing better now. She has been stable with almost zero respiratory complications for a week or so now. Today I...

@Rocket99 @lilspaz68 she actually improved a lot these past few days ! Hasn't been in respiratory distress since that last time I posted and seems to be breathing without an issue most of the times :) hopefully she keeps improving ! Thank you for your help ! Just something else came up, the...

I'm so sorry to hear that ♥️ she's 2 and a half

I got notified that SQ replied to this thread but I can't see their message ? So I'm sorry if Im ignoring you

Hey lilspaz ! Thank your for reaching out again. I don't have an inhaler :( I do have Prednisone at home from when one of my boys had PT. Btw a little update on her: she had been breathing abdominally ( rough translation not sure if that's correct ) up until yesterday. She will still do it from...

Hello, the other day one of my babies started panicking and mouth breathing and had mucus blocking her throat and nose. She was moving her head like she was choking. I was going to take her to the emergency vet when she started to slowly look better and started breathing through her nose again...

Update: She had been doing okay for two days. You could see her lungs were compromised but she was walking around happy and eating. Today I found her in respiratory distress, panicking and mouth breathing and took her to the emergency vet. Vet wasn't sure what else to do, we discussed the...

Oh she has been sneezing and cleaning her nose a lot more often now! I feel like she is doing a bit better so I don't think I will risk streaming. I will give it a shot if her condition worsens. Thank you !

One more thing ! I am aware that a steroid and Baytril are good to treat an ear infection but I'm not sure about how long he would have to be on it. Is it around 4-6 weeks like a respiratory infection?
