Our 16 month old Male rat has been poorly since the 28th Dec. First signs of problems were lots of red discharge from eyes and nose. A day later he was not moving around the cage. Took him to vets and they said possible myco....something (respiratory infection) prescribed 0.14ml baytril once a day and anti inflammatory/painkiller 0.7ml a day. 1st two days slight improvement but downhill since. We have been syringe feeding him pureed baby food and water, cleaning him and steaming him in the bathroom when showering. Last two days he keeps backing up with a hunchback until he falls over. Grinding his teeth and eye boggling. Sorry for the long post but really looking for any suggestions that could help the wee man out.
