I posted about this earlier, but decided to start a new topic since I originally thought they were fighting, and posted about fighting in the subject line instead of health issues.
I found some pictures of rats with read tears (forgot the scientific name of the substance) and that seems to be exactly what is going on with my three. They seem to be acting normally otherwise, but I decided to call my vet just in case. I read that sometimes red tears are normal, but the fact that all three started showing them when they hadn't before worries me.
I've been watching them and they do seem to be scratching a bit. Nothing extreme but maybe a little more than normal. they don't have any scratches or scabby spots, but Eloise and Coco have some greasy spots on their rump. On Eloise it is kind of a dark substance. Its not that extreme, but unusual. Any ideas?
I'll update when I go to the vet (next Saturday). They said it would be easier to fit me in just taking one at first.
