This is like my 3rd question so sorry, i'm a very parinoid rat mom.
So i got my new rat Butterscotch(and his two brothers) on march 21st, age is roughly 8 weeks old. He seemed off to me and by Tuesday i was sure he had an URI(clicking, hardly eating or drinking and sleeping a lot and hardly doing anything) and took him to the vet. They put him (and his brothers) on Baytril(0.9) and Doxy(0.4) twice a day.
It's been 6 days on the meds and he seemed to be doing so much better, he was eating a lot and drinking and roaming around the cage and playing with his brothers(he's put on weight i feel like he's always eating). Until sunday(5th day on meds) He started making honky sneezing noises(first time since getting him). It's loud and scares me. He still eats and drinks and roams around so i guess i'm just asking if he's getting worse or is he possibly still doing ok but maybe he's so wet honky sneezey because all the gunk is coming up?(grasping at straws i guess i'm naturally very paranoid) I've taken him for a steam but it didnt seem to help.
Some other concerns are when he goes to drink he will sit in front of the water bottle barley drinking and swaying, he does have somewhat pink eyes so i have thought it's just him and his poor vision but like i said i'm paranoid.
He's been honking and sneezing a lot this morning. I already called the vet and left him a message about whats going on and will hear back from him tomorrow(He's off today)
