Hi all - I've never posted on here before so please bare with me.
One of my girls has become very lethargic and chilled out, generally cuddlier (she's usually very nervous and slow anyway so it took a day or so to notice she wasn't acting quite right), she's also become a bit wobbly, similar to that of a very elderly rat, as well as lost some weight. She's not making any noises when she breathes, no clicking from her lungs so I don't think it's respiratory issues, no lumps or bumps either. She's only around 12-14 months old so still fairly young. I saw on some other threads to check their ears for smells or any liquid sounds but nothing. I've been making sure she's eating and offering her water also but she seems rather weak..
Does anyone have any idea what it could be? I'm hoping it's not a PT.. but I can't think of any other issue it could be - I'll be contacting a vet asap, but any other ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated
