Okay - I'm going to try to remain as calm as possible .. seeing as how my ratty is acting very very very strangely and there's not a vet around in site who will treat pet rats.
One of my rats has always been very sniffly - almost ever since I got him. Just now I woke up to him making a very clear gasping - but not choking .... because he stopped a minute or so later... but he's been going this gasping thing every so often since then ....
And finding a rat vet anywhere close this time of evening that's open is nearly impossible.
Does anyone have any idea what this could possibly be?
EDIT: I also changed from Carefresh for sensitive skin to the normal Carefresh ... if anyone thinks he might be having an allergic reaction to it?
