My sister just left for a 5-week summer program and im watching her 2 rats a few months old. I know nothing about rat care other than what I've googled and was just told to feed them and make sure they have water and clean the cage. One started being lethargic yesterday and is now barely moving or standing up. I can hear it breathing heavy and I got this video of it and this was the most it's moved in a while. It's also fallen over on its side a couple of times. I've attached a video link of it now. Idk what to do, there's one vet I can call tomorrow but I don't have the money for it so I'll have to try to convince my mom to pay for it. But I plan on calling the vet either way tomorrow to see how much it would cost.
But, worst case there's no vet possible, what's my best route. I figure it's a stroke or ear infection but still don't know what to do. Do I need to try feed it or give it water? Also, my dad is out of town and me and my mom both work all day tomorrow so we won't be able to be here other than the morning.
Any suggestions or ideas?
