Re: Poor rattie has a cold
sounds like he has a respiratory infection as rats don't get colds!

u need to get him to the vets for some oral baytril,he'll need it at least a weeks dosage on a spoon with some yummy yoghurt or jam.

if u don't that snuffling noise will get worse and it will be harder for him to breathe and if not treated can lead to death in some cases.

Fancy Rats | Information | Baytril

Fancy Rats | Information | When to Take Your Rat to The Vet

please read the links it provides very useful reading on rats.

Re: Poor rattie has a cold
I would take him to the vets.

As previously pointed out, rats dont get colds.

Could be myco, you should take him to the vets to get treated, catch it early before it becomes serious

Re: Poor rattie has a cold
Thank u all for your good advice, rattie is feeling much better now and has stopped snuffling must have just been a 24 hr bug I will defiantly be keeping a close eye on him though.
