I took him to the vet today and she said that she can't say for sure whether it's spine degeneration, a spinal tumour, or what else it is but, basically, his back legs have started dragging a bit when he walks.
i've put his food on the bottom of his cage, as well as his water. whenever i let him out to play, he just goes into my drawer and chills there, doesn't really move or play around much.
he bruxes a lot when i cuddle him and he seems like a happy little guy, i just want to know if anyone here has any experience with this and can maybe share some tips on how i can make him more comfortable and maybe slow down the process.
she prescribed me tylenol syrup, 1-2 mg/ml diluted in water or 40 mg of Aspirin in water every 48 hours.
i'd love some insight on this issue from rat parents more knowledgeable and experienced than myself. it's just so stressful.
He's an approx. 2.5 year old male, neutered, siamese rat.
