Tooth issue?

[Miya_Moo_Chu]

How can you tell if your rat is hurt? Because Chu seems to squeak everytime she talks.. I was thinking that maybe it's one of her teeth, but I didn't think it was likely..
Just give me an idea, if you want!
I'll be a waiting.

Some rats just like to squeak. My Radar squeaks a lot.
Generally, rats in pain are very quiet, they lie in a corner and "zone out."

Could she be sick? Rats can make a squeaky noise when they are breathing, indicating possible URI?

Hmm, I thougth I replied to this topic already...

Starla squeaked when she was breathing because of a URI. Since being on meds, she isn't making that squeaky noise anymore.
