My female rat started sneezin the day I got her home, I changed the bedding, and I've been out for a couple of hours and shes making noises.

When she sneezes she makes other noises. She hasnt got anything coming out of her nose or anythin round her eyes. Shes eating and drinkin alright.

I'm just abit concerned about her and cos of the time the vets are closed.

Best thing to do is get her to Vets first thing in the morning.

What type of bedding were you using and what are you using now.

When did you get her? holw old is she and is she in with any other rats.

Are the other noises hooting or chirping type sounds? I'm going to guess that she has a respiratory infection. She doesn't need to see the vet at this very moment in time, but I'd get her seen tomorrow or saturday if at all possible. Rats with respiratory infections can go down him very quickly.

You will probably be given baytril if she does have a respiratory infection. This should be given at the dose of 0.1ml per 100g or body weight for at least 2 weeks.

Opinions are like armpits. Everyone has them, and some stink.

The beddin they first had was like saw dust. But then I changed it to care fresh. She's not making them sort of noises.

We got her on Tuesday and she's 5 weeks old. She seems normal in herself its just the noises that are making me worried.

do you have other rats with her? if so are they sneezing as well?
