This is the same thing that was happening in the post above, and it's happening to the same rat. It just started. I can explain it better this time.
It seems to me like she might be choking? Twice now I've seen her open up her mouth wide and some kind of liquid has come out of it. I don't understand this because I know rats can't vomit. So what's going on?
Right now she isn't doing much but sitting quietly with me. She is hunched up. She may be breathing heavily? I'm not sure.
I'm going to go ahead and take her to a vet, but the only vet open is the same place I took her last time and I didn't feel 100% confident that the doctor knew what he was doing. Hopefully they have a better vet this time.
When I get back, I'll list exactly what's in her food mix and maybe someone will know if she's possible choking on any of it. It's essentially the Suebee's Mix, so I don't know what the problem is.
