My oldest boy is now >2.5 and has pretty bad hld now. He does a pretty good job moving himself around the bottom layer of the cage and drinking water/eating himself. Even though he still eats normal block food he’s gotten really small (always been kind of small but you can see bones now) and i...

Well mr grumpy is being sandwiched between the babies, I guess they figured out their issues

After using the carrier method to introduce my boys they are now living together in half of their big cage. All big fights have mostly been settled and they’re getting along great with one of my boys. The other one is being a bit snappy and still scuffling with the babies and I’ve noticed a few...

I had them in just with the 1.5y boy who was scaring them today and it went a lot better. I had him focused on food while the babies sniffed him and the braver one went up to sniff the food he was eating and no aggression (A little bit of cowering from my shyer boy but no frantically leaping out...

He’s about 1.5 years, they are okay with him for a bit if I have my other boy who they’re more comfortable with in first but he comes onto them very fast which I think scares them

I got a pair of baby rats around two months ago and they are now around 3 months old. I've been trying intros for about two weeks now and while they're doing great with one of my boys the other one is not so good. He's not been necessarily aggressive but he's a larger rat and had freaked the...

So I got a pair of babies a few weeks back and they're about 8 weeks now so I've started to introduce them to my older two. One of my rats is definitely on the larger size and he freaks the babies out every time they see him and in turn, they get spooked if they see my smaller boy. They've been...

He's not been doing so good this week since his feet turned blue and I think I may call the vet this weekend or even later this week if I have the time if his health keeps going down.

He just got given the inhaler 40 minutes ago so his breathing is pretty clear right now but later in the evening before he gets it for the second time or when he's having a really hard time it's more crackling I guess. He has lost a bit of weight but he's been doing better with eating recently...

Since its not an infection and just him having chronic breathing problems through his lungs how long would he have to be on these? I just asked my mom about it and she seems a bit iffy on giving him antibiotics as he doesn't have an infection and the vet mentioned nothing about it. The vet was...

I am able to order online yes. What antibiotics would I need to get for him?

She didn’t mention antibiotics at all, would it be better to stop the steroid and just have him on the albuterol?

The vet said it’s not an infection as he got a x ray and there was no fluid in his lungs. She said it’s mostly likely something like copd in humans which we don’t know how he got as the other two are fine. The vet said that since it’s not an infection the most they could do is prescribe the...

I have a nebulizer that I might try to use with him if he ever gets that bad again. His breathing was really bad one other time since going to the vet but he was curled up on my lap the whole time so i didn’t think to check his feet then

He’s taking albuterol and dulera. The feet was definitely him just having a really bad time breathing this afternoon as he’s fine now and breathing a bit better.

So one of my rats who's about 1 year 10 months was diagnosed with chronic respiratory issues a couple of weeks ago. He's been up and down with getting better and getting worse and today when I opened the cage he ran over and wanted to be picked up so I've been letting him sit on me for a while...

I can try to get more pictures later cause its easier to see if his tail is more curved to the side

Here are the best photos I could get cause he was pretty tired and just wanted me to let him sleep in peace, he was sleeping curled up in a ball with his tail almost under him so it doesn't seem like moving it around bothers him too much

One of my rats has a little cut at the base of his tail that looks red enough that you can notice it from a distance, but not like bleeding. Is there anything I should put on it or do to make sure it doesn't get worse or get infected? I've delt with scratches before cause one of mine is hairless...

Okay thanks!
