My rat Benji (in the avatar) is now 28 mths old. He's never had big myco flare-ups but has always been a bit sneezy. It hasn't really caused any problems though & he's had a healthy life. But tonight just now he had a massive sneezing fit which sounded awful and when I checked him out there was blood everywhere. I can't be totally sure it wasn't porphyrin but it doesn't seem like it. This stuff was too bright and too liquid. I've never had a rat sneeze up blood before but I have had a couple with nasal discharge along with pneumonia which has spelled the end. But Benji seems okay though (emphasis on seems), he's breathing okay and still active and bright-eyed. Has anyone seen these symptoms before? I'll go to the vet tomorrow but of course this happened at 9PM so there will be at least a 12 hour wait overnight.
