I’ve had my 3 rats for a little less than 2 weeks now. They are around 11 weeks old. Last night when I was going to socialize with them, one of them was making a constant squeaking noise while breathing that sounded like a classic URI noise but it only went on for about a minute and stopped. I think it went on again for a few seconds later but I’m not sure. My PEW rat also has a noticeable amount of porphyria buildup around her nose.
I haven’t heard anything since from them, but I’m very concerned. Is it possible for them to have temporary mycoplasma buildups when stressed in new homes? Or is it something I should take her to the vet for (I will take her to the vet if it sounds like a URI, but I wanted to see if it’s normal first). Also, if it is a URI have the other 2 rats caught it as well? And should I be concerned for the other 3 mice that live in the same room?
Any help at all is appreciated, thanks.
