I'm always a little concerned about my Chimo because he had and abscess on his goolies and because I've never had a PEW before let alone boy rats. What are the signs of a healthy PEW? Chimo seems to be the more sensitive of the two and I had him on Baytril awhile back because of some sneezing and porphyrin staining on his nose. At the vet he weighed 414g at 6 months old and there weren't any noises.
The sneezing and the staining went away but sometimes it seems like Chimo is hiccuping, it doesn't last long and only usually happens when he get startled. His coat seems alittle rough too but could that be because he's a boy and I'm only used to females?
One more thing, my black berk Coal, squeaks when I go to pick him up, not yet touching him but he only does it when I go to pick him up or when he's doing something he's not suppose to and I go to move him still not yet touching. Weird, it's like he knows that if he squeaks at me, I'll leave him alone.
I just want to know what's normal for Chimo
