    Can someone recommend a good medicine (s) for bad respiratory infections? All my boys have it (not as bad), one is very affected by it though. He runs around frantically, he feels like hes suffocating and I would hate it to shorten his life in any way. Baytril (enrofloxacin) doesn't seem to...

    I wanted to make a post on this topic, as I have seen numerous threads from users asking for help, when their rats get a respiratory infection. Often times people are begging for help because they either do not have a vet nearby that will treat a rat, or they cannot afford an exam visit plus...

Just finished treating one rattie for a respiratory infection and...

    Hey guys, I really need help. So I've got three male rats and they all either have a URI or maybe a Myco flare up.

    One of my boys was recently on baytril, doxy and a bronchodilator (Theophylline) but his symptoms improved. They've come back, but I realized his medications were in my car for several days and it's been extremely hot here. Are these medications ineffective now? Are they dangerous from heat...
