Hi, I'm looking for some help. I've been sadly losing my rats, they all go the same and are from the same mother and father. I always take them to the vet as soon as they change their behaviour but I still can't save them. They start lethargic, needing more cuddles, 2 got discharge from nose and mouth, I start an antibiotic and they within half an hour can't walk or eat, sadly I have to put them to sleep. Another girl is sick, been to the vets same again antibiotic then worse, the med is baytril which I know is safe, I also have a steriod tablet to give. Sorry of this is such a long post, but im so heartbroken and feel useless.
 
have you found an answer yet.
Hi no further forward sadly, I only have 1 girl left and my vet has told me don't add any more as she has probably carrying the virus. We're heartbroken haven't experienced this before. I don't think we'll have rat's again 😥
