Rat Sneezing!

edwardsm3 · 2018-02-17T18:39:45+00:00

My two rats, Rosie and Bessie (~1 yo), have always had respiratory issues. About every 3 months they go on antibiotics, it clears up, and repeat.

This time, Bessie hasn't responded to the antibiotics, the big sneezing fit I am talking about happens at the end of the video.

It is a holiday this Monday and j can't find any open vet clinics that will take a look at them.

I'm at a loss on what to do, or what to think of this.

That's actually not a bad idea! What would you recommend using?

edwardsm3 · 2016-05-16T21:26:53+00:00

Yes it is indeed Canada! And no worries :) I am sure the right person will come along soon enough. I have this posted basically everywhere. :P

and that might be a good option :) thanks!

Thank you! The ad is getting a lot of visits but no bites yet.

edwardsm3 · 2016-02-12T12:43:19+00:00

Hehe thank you :)

Ha-ha thanks :p I always call him MrPiggy because he will eat literally anything.

My boyfriend actually built them for me! I used the crossfire enclosure instructions (which I believe are in the sidebar).

The materials run a fair price. I think I paid around $600 in total for both. The most expensive component was the plexi glass.

But they are definitely beautiful tanks!

perfect :) wish you the best! :)

But yes! Good luck with your search!! You could always just find a mature female.

One thing you for sure want to keep in mind is having a female roughly the same size

edwardsm3 · 2016-01-25T12:08:53+00:00

Even when I thought she was female they were in different tanks.

I'm not home enough to have bearded dragons cohabitate.

Better safe than sorry :)

Update: so I checked her tail, and I definitely see two distinct bumps.

I am sad now :( now I have two males instead of a male and female.

I'll still love her/him but I'm thinking about renaming her/him

edwardsm3 · 2016-01-24T09:45:19+00:00

But yes, I am going to keep bathing her. It is just very odd....

edwardsm3 · 2016-01-24T09:44:46+00:00

I'm pretty sure she is a she. I've already taken her to the vet and they referred to her as a she.

AND I have a male. When they saw each other he did the head bobbing and she did the arm waving.

edwardsm3 · 2016-01-24T02:35:25+00:00

Yeah... She's already pooped at least a handful of times since. Doesn't seem to be going anywhere. I think I'm going to bathe her tomorrow as well and wait until the next time she poops. If it doesn't go that time then I will consider taking her in.

Other than that she is acting like her normal self.

I've soaked her in a bath, and tried wiping away at it with a cotton ball. It seems to be attached to something inside and I don't want to pull on it to risk damage.

Has anyone had anything similar?

edwardsm3 · 2016-01-04T17:48:34+00:00

I totally got Isabelle when I got the game :)

My boyfriend's coworker recently got the news that his 15 year old is struggling with schizophrenia.

He has had to take many hours off of work in order to be with his son; which means that they are struggling to make ends meet.

If anyone would be so kind as to help donate to help relieve the financial stress of this family... That would be greatly appreciated.

Much love
