A little over a couple of weeks back my rat Narcissa started looking a little under the weather, and slowly started getting worse, eventually getting to the point where she was having to drag herself around, she couldnt eat or drink on her own, she had a head tilt, and was overall very lethargic. I took her to an emergency vet the morning after I realized she was getting worse, and they said it could either be a stroke or an inner ear infection. The vet prescribed chlor-palm and prednisone, in case it was an infection. Her dosages are over now, and she has improved on some fronts and regressed in others. I took her to a vet that wasnt open on the weekend a couple days after and they said that if she doesnt recover by the end of the dose they could try a different medication to see if that works. I'm wondering if maybe this just isnt an infection at all? I guess it's possible the antibiotics she had didnt solve her problem but if they werent helping wouldnt she have gotten way sicker by now? I'm just really worried about her and not sure I'm ready to get the news that she might have to be put down on tuesday.
