Hi all.
I brought home two baby rats (approx 6 weeks) from the snake food bin on Saturday. Things seemed well, so I put the new babies into my existing group of 5 boys on Tuesday. Everything is good except that I’m pretty sure one of the babies now has a URI. I thought I heard him make a strange sound yesterday, but it wasn’t until tonight that I was able to hear him make a distinct gasping inhale. I was looking right at him and he looked like he was definitely gasping.
I have started him on Baytril and Doxy tonight, but I’m wondering if I should go ahead and dose the other baby as well even though he seems healthy? What about my 5 older boys (ages 3mo-1.5yr)?
