Message: <blockquote data-quote="lystelle" data-source="post: 517066" data-attributes="member: 18347">He's mainly flat on his chest, wont hold up his head. Class lethargy "limp" feeling, but the rest of his body is almost normal. The second I offer him water, liquid ensure, or nutri-cal, he immediately holds his head up to take it. He keeps wanting it. It's so confusing, leading me to almost think he had some sort of stroke and he's actually just normal somewhat but trapped in a very weak body. I'm continuting to give him the dex as prescribed but I'm gonna attempt to do all I can to contact a vet on a Sunday, even if it's not much. They never called back today as they said they would try to. He just seems... peaceful somewhat? He's not gasping or struggling. Occasionally he jumps up to try and walk around. He seems to WANT to act normally. Am I right about a stroke? He just keeps going.Update;[ATTACH=full]15723[/ATTACH]This is what the first clinic vet put him on (the one who wouldn’t give him cabergoline, he doesn’t know much about rats imo) could I safely increase this dose a bit? I don’t know if you can easily overdose on a bit more baytril and vitamin b :/</blockquote>
