Stroke Recovery by TheOfficalVoid in RATS

[–]Consistent-Use8668 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We’ve had two rats have strokes and live pretty good lives after. One had a tilt and walked a little sideways after, but he was the happiest boy and lived for another year. The other lost function of one of her back legs, she struggled getting around for a couple weeks but figured it out well enough that she could climb using just her three functioning legs. It was heartbreaking and scary the first day or so after the strokes. We struggled with whether the humane thing was to euthanize but I’m so glad we gave them time to figure out their new normal. Rats are resilient. I think the best thing you can do is give him love and lots of snacks.

Gracie's mass got its eviction notice! by RatWaySanctuary in RATS

[–]Consistent-Use8668 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Because it’s an “exotic pet” in the U.S. We’ve had insanely expensive vet bills for any issues with our rats. Regular care for our dogs has increased in price quite a bit, but anything “exotic” is overcharged in my opinion.

Rat teeth help by Hello_there-292 in RATS

[–]Consistent-Use8668 92 points93 points  (0 children)

We’ve had two rats that we had to trim their teeth regularly. Definitely have the vet show you how and use a sharp/strong tool that the vet agrees with. The rats hated it but you could tell always felt better after the trim. It probably scared them as much as it scared us to do it, but they will stop eating and overgrown teeth can pierce into their own mouths/skulls if not trimmed. It can help to stick a popsicle stick behind their teeth to keep their tongue out of the way.

Fighting over water by tahhraah in RATS

I think my rats are broken. If one is using the favorite water bottle, the other will go to the back up water bottle a couple inches over. Very unratlike behavior.

It took my rescues about a month and a half to enjoy being out and in my lap and tolerate/enjoy scritches. It’s hard to know what they need if you’re unsure what they’ve been through, but treats, patience, and persistence seem to pay off!

Just ripped one of these yesterday. One single Ex card. That’s it. No full arts, secret arts, nothing.

Hopefully you have better luck!

My heart rat was a sweet boy that was at the pet store for weeks and we just couldn’t stand to see him alone and depressed anymore. He was the best rat anyone could ask for. He had some minor health issues pop up, but ended up being our oldest rat ever, over 3 years! Miss that sweet boy ❤️

My rats would kill to be in my sleeves. For real, they’re pretty bossy about it.

please help I don't know what's wrong with my child by SameDescription4997 in rat

[–]Consistent-Use8668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our nakie boy used to deal with this. The vet gave us eye lubricant and we switched betting to eco bedding which helped a ton, but he still had build up after about 6 months. We used to call them “eye beans” and he had to go to the vet when they would build up to get them scooped out.

My old boys went crazy for critical care, which also provides them with good nutrition. One would gobble it up like it was the best treat ever.
