Hello. Today I took two male rats that I recently rescued to the vet so that they could be neutered and introduced to my girls. They were on medication (baytril + doxy). I was supposed to get them to this vet 2 hours away that has good reputation but then I asked my local vet if they could do this and if they have experienced with exotics. They told me it was good and that they spayed and neutered other small animals before ( guinea pig, ferret, hamster etc). I asked about 3 times if they were sure they could do it and they said yes. The doctor called me saying they woke up and were okay. A few time later died both at the same time out of no where with a temperature of over 40°. The doctor was also devastated and didn't know what happened. He said something about maybe being antibiotics but to be honest I didn't hear much of what he said after the " they both died". Does anyone have any idea of what could have happened? Could this have been my fault cuz I choose the cheaper vet? I still cant believe this happened and I feel horrible.
