A sick little Wilton

[leescait]

Well, the "new home" sneezes have transformed into a URI for my little Wilton. Poor thing is monkey-breathing and when I listened with my stethoscope I could hear all that phlegm rattling around.

He has a vet appointment for Saturday, so it'll be the old Enro/Doxy combo I'm sure.

When rats get this this young (2 months), is it usually a one off? Or does it become chronic most of the time? My little Wigglet was chronic and it was just so sad . . . it will break my heart if little Wilton has to go through life without any eyes and feeling short of breath.

Most times with babies you wack the URI out and its done until the rat is more compromised later on.

Good luck baby boy!

I have my fingers crossed for you that Wilton will make a complete recovery. Poor little guy.

Most of mine it's a one off but the odd one will go on to be sick on and off their whole life. But oddly enough, seem to live a long time anyways.
