I can try to call, yes. After a week she said they can't be given longer, because it is stong antibiotic, but it won't hurt to ask one more time. Thanks for your advice!

And yes, I double checked the receipt - handwriting is really bad, but I think it is: Norodine. I found such meds online and it contains following: SULFAMETHOXAZOLE 200mg/ TRIMETHOPRIM 40mg Sorry for confusion

Thank you for your reply! That's what I was afraid of. This was the best "exotic pet" vet (she also treats my rabbit, but he luckily never had anything other than ear drops and annual vaccines). I cannot get antibiotics without the vets prescription, so I need a vet who knows what to do. I have...

Hello, I need a second opinion on one of my rats. Burrito is 1.6 years old and in beginning of May he suddenly got sick - he was falling to the side when walking, one of his eyes looks bigger than the other. I took him to the vet, and she prescribed him antibiotics and steroids. I gave him...

Yes, he seems healthy, I'm so grateful for that. To be honest, I think he's really smart - I kinda piled up lot of toys and boxes in the corner of the couch, thinking he'll give up, but he pulled out every single one of them, all on his own, even heavy ones. I'm planning on trying to teach him...

Thank you for asking! They both discovered hammocks and favourite foods, both come to crawl on me sometimes, but Taco hates being touched and goes away if I want to touch him or even look at him directly. He takes my hand and pushes away with his teeth or hands. He seems to want to be...

Hi all! So I'm worried about about one of my rats - Taco. When I brought Taco home he was incredibly skittish, but warmed up after about a week, so I could pet him. He was sleeping all the time, and never did anything, so I got him a friend, Burrito, a week later. They are now around 10-12...

Hello! Taco and Burrito have been on meds since then, Burrito will be 2 weeks Thursday and Taco - 2 weeks on Monday. I couldn't get the hold of the vet we were seeing - I'm still trying to get a call through. I checked around the internet, too, and indeed 1 week seemed too little, so I decided...

LatteTheRat, lilspaz68, thank you for your reply! They are 8-10 weeks old, living with me for 2 (Burrito) and 3 (Taco) weeks. I think Burrito might have the new home sneezes, because he had no other problems and it started right away, but Taco 10 days after living with me suddently started...

Thank you so much for your reply, I really really appreciate it! Since I gave them the medicine yesterday, Taco's breathing is normal today,just an occasional sneeze. Burrito is fine for two days now. I'm so relieved, looks like the medicine is helping. They are both running around the cage and...

Hello, First my rat Burrito was sneezing a lot, so I took him to the vet and he got prescribed meds. After 5 days, his sneezing is gone, and I still have 2 days of treatments to do. However, today my rat Taco has started making honking noises and wheezing. I looked it up on youtube, and it...

Thank you both for the reply! I hope it's just new home sneezing, will keep an eye on them.

I brought my pet rat home yesterday and he has been sneezing a lot and sometimes makes weird sound when he sniffs around. He squeacks when touched sometimes and also when playing with his friend. I got them a week apart, they are around 8-9 weeks. I called my vet but we didn't make an...

Hi all! A little update - we kept socialising the baby and got him a friend today. They are both approximately same age - 8-9 weeks, and got along right away. They did pounce on each other and groom each other, but mosttly ate and run around together. I have a question, too - a new rattie I...

Thank you for your reply! Working on friend siituation now. Could you please advice, is it okay to put him to the big cage, or better to leave in the carrier until he calms down? Also, is it too soon to take him to e.g. bathroom and let him run around while I'm reading, so he can get used to...

Hello! I got a baby rat (6-8 weeks by looks, but don't know for sure - what do you think? That's him: https://imgur.com/a/9QOMLS2 ), and he's been shaking in fear in the carrier since yesterday. He pees and have soft poops everytime I come near carrier. I added a cardboard house for him to...
