My rat Bessie started having porphyrin (sp?) discharge on her nose and making grunting/wheezy noises when she breathes about two days ago. She already has an appointment at the vet tomorrow because I immediately thought the worst. She's just under three months old and none of my others are showing signs of symptoms.
I am in Florida so I had some VERY aromatic pine in my house before it got cut and put on the windows outside for hurricane Irma. I think that is where it stemmed from.
Today her noises weren't as loud and not as frequent.
Does anyone have any advice for her four cage mates two of them are her sisters, and then the other two are about six months and are also sisters. None of them are showing symptoms and I've been watching VERY closely. So I don't think anything is wrong but I don't want to be complacent when something could be done as a preventative.
