Hi lilspaz, Just after some advice. My girl has gotten worst since this photo, her lump in her groin area has gotten much bigger. She was on metacam for about a month to see if it was due to inflammation, but didn't help. Seems like my only option now is to have it surgically removed, but...

Well I took her to the vets about 3 weeks ago, so would assume that her teeth would off Been checked then. The vet did pop the lump on her face and did go down but came back again.

My girl Coco who I have posted on here before about her mysterious bleeding when urinating has now developed a URI. She has been bleeding whilst going to the wee for many months now and did all sorts of tests and treatments, to which nothing seems to have helped. She has been fine otherwise in...

Thank you. He does seem to be his normal self, so hopefully it will just heal nicely.

So one of my male rats escaped his cage and climbed onto the girls cage with out me knowing and got attacked by one of the female rats on his foot. It looks as if one of his nails has come off and caused quite a bit of bleeding. The bleeding has stopped and I can see a nail has gone. I can't get...

Hi so I have 2 males and they have lived together since we first ever got them, however today and I didn't see what happend and neither did my partner, but he heard a very viscous screech coming from one of the rats. We didn't think anything of it then when I went to let them out for playtime I...

Thanks for this but the poster is if the animal eats the plant and I won't let my rats eat the plant just want to know if it's bad for them to let's say be in the same room as the plant, but in there cage where they can't ingest it or touch it.

I got given another anti Biotix to try co-trimoxazole. Any one know about this?

Hey...thanks for your input. You say that as her being a PEW she has most likely suffered with this for a long time, but surely I would of heard differences in her breathing sooner, maybe not acting different, as you say rats are good at hiding illnesses. So I am slightly confused as to why all...

Thank you. I may have to ask for another because she may be to used to baytril since he was on it for many weeks beforehand.

I coco does seem to be getting worst. She is on metacam, baytril and bisolvon now as I had to rush her to the vets on Friday. Will these all help her respiratory problem?

They didn't say where I think I'll ring up the vets tomorrow to find out where hey think the cyst is

W well they ruled out it being any kind of infection because I forgot to mention that she also had a culture done. She has only started showing signs of this sound she is making yesterday, she was on antibiotic for I would say 6 weeks and it being baytril as well. I stopped it when I started...
