I got a rat during the summer who appeared to have a pretty severe URI, gasping and wheezing really bad. I intended to take him to the vet as soon as I had the money (2 weeks), but by that time his problems had vanished, so I watched him carefully for the next little while and he was fine, has been ever since. What do you guys think of this? I mean, for that first week it was so bad that I didn't think he'd even make it. How could that have gone away on its own?

It possibly may have been that the bedding he was kept on before you got him was causing him allergies? Im definitely not an expert on rats but this is the only possible cause that comes to my mind at the moment
