So we've had Juno for nearly two years, she's not had an easy life so far and now she's really sick
Our Rattie ownership started with Juno and Porsche (I wasn't allowed to have two boys called Bugatti and Veryon, so this was my comprimise!) But sadly Porsche died over Christmas for some unknown reason. Shortly after this, Juno started getting lonely so we adopted two little ones called Mia and Dax (From TV - Mia Pulp Fiction, Dax Star Trek) and all seemed well.
But in around March, Juno was taken to the VET to have a lump removed roughly the size of a grape from her groin area and was great until recently;
About two weeks ago, she vomitted - I mean actually vomitted which I'm well aware rats can't do, even the VET was astonished, but the emergency VET she went to wasn't exactly a rat genius and inject Batrill into her, which we later learned was a big no no. All of a sudden she went wobbly, wouldn't eat or anything and continually produced a bile like discharge from her mouth and wouldnt really move.
Since then, she's not really had an appetite but over the last week we've gradually had her eating baby food, and the other night she showed interest in softer foods. She's gettting really skinny and doesn't really show water much interest and does not move about much in the cage with Dax and Mia. She spends the majority of her time in the cage hanging over her hammock and more often than not does not know which way is the right way up (Falls over, no balance etc)
She's also still skinny.
IN recent days she's made a slight improvement and will wonder around outside the cage but eventually just finds somewhere comfortable to rest.
Really worried about her, I don't know whats up with her or how to mend her No "Vommitiing" since the original incident.
