Thanks to help I received from this forum, my little Oliver has been happy and healthy ever since his health scare... and I got 2 more boys.
I've noticed something concerning on my other older rat and thought I'd try here again as my breeder didn't know what it could be. He's got a bald spot in a vertical line along his spine and it's been getting worse. I don't see any barbering (not to mention this is my dominant boy - he doesn't put up with being fussed over by the other), I don't see any problems on the skin (besides the hair loss), and I combed through the rest of his fur checking for anything weird... nothing.
His behavior/health otherwise seems fine and it doesn't appear to be bothering him but it's got me really worried since it seems to be getting worse.
If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate any info! Thanks.
