My albino rat Opal (she just turned one) has fallen quite sick, we took her to the vet and we were given medication to treat an upper respiratory infection. She’s stopped sneezing and wheezing but she still shakes every time she takes a breath/: she’s also started to click? I’m not sure how else to describe it…my fiancé pointed out that maybe it’s so noticeable because she’s so skinny, I’ve been doing a lot of reading and I just got her some different high protein baby food and cottage cheese. Hopefully that’ll help her gain some weight back. She won’t eat anything solid, we have to entice her to eat off our fingers. Her behavior has changed as well, she’s become so much more jumpy, she runs away from us and even tries to jump out of our hands when we hold her. I can calm her down if I pet her but then she just lays there and won’t move/:
I don’t know what else to do. I feel like I’m watching her die right in front of me… any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
