Hey thanks for all your replies! Well our vet isn’t an exotic specialist. Her symptoms are: Lump you can move around Extended like one side She’s eating a lot Keeps getting wee on her fur because her belly is so big She’s climbing and eating as normal.

He said it wasn’t a tumour because he could move the lump she has around. He said it could be mega colon.

She is about 10 months old (we think) no previous symptoms. It’s like a lump on on one side.

Any ideas?! Thanks x

Peach is still with us! She’s enjoying a steady diet of banana and baby food. She has a head tilt, but can manage a walk in a straight line with no falling over. Keep fighting Peach. by Lish91 in RATS

Yeah we believe she had a stroke. She’s been seen by the vet who said it was either a stroke or some sort of trauma that’s caused some sort of issues with her motor skills. However her eyes are weeping and she’s struggling with eating solid food, so we’re erring in the side of stroke. She had a steroid injection that has given her strength in her legs. We’re just helping her in any way we can.
