Hello, I am a new rat owner of a 25 most old Male. He has been a healthy guy most of the time. Treated for lice from the previous home and one resp infection. Has been losing some weight, I thought it was because he was a senior but a few days ago he stopped eating and drinking. He runs up like he wants to do both then turns his head away. So went to vet. Nothing conclusive. Lungs clear (had xray) she thought teeth looked fine no wheezing, no lumps felt. So got pain meds Metacam and Oxbow critical care ( feeding with syringe) and water. He doesn't want any of it. His stool is awful. Mucousy blobs. Can't get back to get for a couple of days. Should I force pain meds or let him be.
