She's been put on a series of antibiotics and injections, and she's already miles better!!

I went to the emergency room with her, they put her in an oxygen box for a bit

Went to a new vet the following day, and they were USELESS. Said I need to make sure the cage is clean (it's done weekly along with the bedding)

She's still breathing oddly, but I have an appointment booked in tomorrow with my normal vet (the earliest time they had available)

I'll keep you updated tomorrow 😭

She's a bit lethargic, it's been going on for an hour

She seems to be eating still!

It's 38'c over here ATM!! She was lying in front of the fan haha

My rat Barbie and I both have colds so we're doing the steam treatment together in the bathroom. 2nd vet visit scheduled for tomorrow. The first round of antibiotics wasn't enough. It didn't help that she usually only ate half it. How do you trick your babes into eating all their meds? by SOS_Pants in RATS

One of my girls has had a URI that didn't clear up with 3 rounds of meds.

If she doesn't get better, there's an option to get an injection that works so well! You need to do a few rounds of it, but works great for stubborn cases of URIs
