What are the girls symptoms? And do the rats boys and girls play in the same area?

All the girls were spayed. The boys and girls all snuggle together and the lower level isn't being used. No boys are sick and they would have been by now as the girls have been sick for quite awhile now. I took a video. Rapid shallow breathing. loss of appetite,weight loss sleeping all the time. http://www.flickr.com/photos/sharleegirl/3953899543/

First of all, I would think this is something hereditary (not contagious) since it seems to be affecting related sisters. The symptoms sound very much like cardiomyopathy or CHF to me. I would think they need something like elanparil or lasix. I had a girl with cardiomyopathy and giving her aspirin helped a lot.

They were on another med that right now for the life of me I can't remember.
Right now it is Baytil and it is not working.
I think that this has to be hereditary as well.
I hate seeing them so sick. :sad3:
