We have 5 fancy rats, all brothers. We have had them for a year now, they are adored.
One of them, Steven, the smallest is not breathing properly. My daughter noticed he was a bit "off" a couple of weeks ago, but everytime I checked him he seemed OK, he is active, eating, pooping etc, but today she got him out and his breathing is laboured and noisy. I'm now terrified! We just tried to settle him in a make-shift box but he won't settle so will have to put him back in with his brothers soon. I will try to attach a video I took about half an hour ago. Any advice greatly appreciated.
