Hello everyone I am new here. My heart rat Remy, who is about a year and a half, has been having a hard month...I came back from vacation on July 5th and noticed she was not herself. She was drinking A LOT and not eating. I took her to the vets and we noticed the left side of her face was swollen. She wouldn't let us look in her mouth but the vet suggested an abscess and gave me Baytril 0.1cc twice daily and 0.2cc of Metacam once daily. After I started the medications my rattie was back to normal but after the medications ran out, the mass kept getting bigger. The vet gave me another supply of the baytril and metacam but now, the mass is growing and I am a very scared rat mommy...I've done some research and ZGT scares the heck out of me!! I am not sure if I am dealing with that or a couple of very nasty abscess'. She has two lumps. One under her chin and one on the side. No blood in the ears. What scares me is that her bottom jaw is a little crooked and shes not eating as much. Can someone please help me! Her vet is not available til Tuesday.
