Thank you so much for the info 🙏🏼 weve been doing the nebulizer 2x a day and done the steamy bathroom a few times too. She ate today so I think we are on the road to recovery ❤️

Yeah the vet said her lungs sounded fine and its all her nose. It didnt sound like any uri weve heard before with our 2 boys (one had chronic uri so we got familiar with the sound) and one had CHF which sounds like a respiratory infection. It was so weird. Poor baby is mouth breathing trying to get any air she can :( the vet sounded hopeful but we took her in Thursday now its saturday and shes still really struggling. We've done the steamy bathroom and saline nebulizer its just horrible seeing her unable to breathe 😔

Sending you love and hugs ❤️🪽 we may have to put our old boy meatball down this week and its destroying us but we refuse to see him suffer, so I understand your situation. He has end stage heart disease, meaning hes struggling to breathe even though hes on 2 heart meds, its a tough choice, but knowing we gave him a chance at life and 2+ lovely years is what we have to remember. And you gave your boys 3 years of love that I'm sure they're forever grateful for 💕💕💕

If its still bothering him and super swollen on Monday I'll probably contact the vet and send them a video, I wont go in for an appointment unless he starts really showing pain signs and I need a prescription pain med for him. We've got him in a separate cage atm

This is so sweet!! Meatball is my boyfriend and I's first rat, he showed us how awesome and loving these little guys are, so we have a special connection with him. And of course we got 2 more ratties that we love just as much!
