New rat owner in PA

[Plaidypus]

Um, hi, haha. I'm 22, female, engaged, self-employed, and new to rats, and looking for a good forum for health support- Mine were ill as soon as I got 'em! I think it's mild. I am not new to rodents- I've had mice and a gerbil in the past, and both species were ill, but rats seem to have much more chronic problems and I'm unsure of when I should stop medication with them. I'll move this over to health issues now for further details- just wanted to let people know I'm here, and why! Hope to also talk about much more pleasant things.

Welcome!
You've got that right, rats seem to be prone to the worst chronic conditions. They sure are lucky that they are just so adorable and loveable.
