Fyo crossed the rainbow bridge this Wednesday 8 July. It was probably between 8.30 pm and 11pm. (I'm from Belgium so it's currently 1am) She was something between 2 and a half and 3 years old but I rescued her about 6 months ago. Even if it was short, the time I spent with her was amazing. She...

I posted a little while back that one of our rats had bad diarrhea, asking for advice. The diarrhea resolved, but I’ve had trouble getting him to put weight back on. Tonight, he suddenly had labored breathing, and I took him to the emergency Vet. While she suspected pneumonia, I authorized...

Hello. I've made a few posts about my two ratties (Dex, who has a respiratory disease, and Venus, who has a PT). I'd like to make an update about them first and then continue on with my question. [UPDATE]: So, I've taken my rats to the vet again. She says that Dex will probably be fine, and the...

Hello everyone. I lurked in this dear community for a long time and would love some advice/reassurance. My beloved Button died 2 days ago. I found her cold and stiff in the cage. Her tongue was swollen. This struck as a shock because she was completely fine and energetic last night when we saw...

So, this actually started the other day. ****** my one boy had a cracked tooth (upper left) and his breathing seemed off/fast again. The breathing started a while/few months ago and I gave them some antibiotics prescribed by a vet and it seemed to stop. The vet didn't seem too concerned, told us...

Long story short i had 3 rats. The oldest one (3) passed, seemingly naturally, and only a week later one of my two young rats (6 months or less) passed from what seems like an extremely fast acting respiratory infection (red eyes, heaving, low energy). Im left with 2 options w/ my last rat (6...

It's been two weeks since Thatcher passed away. He was my first rat and a total sweetheart. I brought him home with Byron, and I'm sure he misses him as much as I do. I'm sure Thatcher knew how much he was loved. I got two new boys Quincy and Winston a week ago. They took to me very quickly and...

It seems I don't have any luck with rats, Just when I'm starting to think life has thrown me a bone after losing my girl Nova I find that my new rat is sick. Wheezing and making bad sounds. Her nose just started getting wet, and its really frustrating to see her this way and I know I can't do...
