I wanted to ask you all about rats sneezing. Freyr, one of the little boys I'd adopted from Holly, has begun sneezing some ever since I moved home. For the most part, I've only seen improvements in the boys since I've moved back, for the air quality in the house is much better than it was in my apartment. But Freyr's sneezing worries me a little. It's not at all chesty, it's very light, and it doesn't seem to take anything out of him, so I don't think it's bothering him, but it's clearly not a 'got dust in your nose' sneeze. He does it often, but not badly so. I was just wondering what I can look for to know if his sneezing is getting worse, if it's a bad sneeze or a good sneeze, and whether I should put him on any medication.
BTW, Rose is finished the 7 day round of medication the vet had given me, and he seems to be doing perfect! I no longer hear any noises from him at all! But I wonder if a week of treatment is enough, since I often hear people say that they have to treat their rats for something like 4-6 weeks! Any advice on this matter?
