Kenny is in Distress!! Doing better but......

[Sharlees rattakisses]

It looks as if Kenny has serious breathing issues. :gaah:
He is panicking and looking like Wylie and Cesar.
Kenny has stuff coming out of his nose.
This has come on suddenly.
Is there anything I can do to help him right now?
I have Baytril but I don't think that will help.
He's not mine but my Nieces.

 

[Petunia]

can you get him into a humidified room?

thats all I can think of right off the top of my head....

Steamy bathroom? Metacam? Inhaler? Dark chocolate? Sudafed?

What colour is the gunk coming from his nose? Can you smell it and does it smell a bit like infection?

Just back from Dr. Munn's.
I left right after I posted as Kenny's feet turned blue and he was gaping,
I 'm just back now with Mr. Kenneth oxygenated and full of steroids.
It looked touch and go for awhile but hopefully given time he will recover.
The stuff from his nose was clear but thick.
Kenny has to be separated from the others for a bit to keep him becoming overly stressed.
Olive is too much for most rats. :roll:
I used up my Birthday $$ before I got it but I couldn't stand to watch him struggling like that.
Right now he's eating soft foods as he has lost weight and needs some fattening up.
Thanx for the help I really appreciate it. :cuddle:

So glad he is OK. Nothing more stressful than respiratory distress.

Kenny is doing better but he stops and stares into space for a bit then snaps out of it.
If you ask me I would think it was a seizure as I have seen the same thing in children.
I could be wrong.
Also it looks like he is in the beginning stages of PT.
Poor Mr Kenny Kenneth is such a sweet boy. :heart:
Sleepyhead. :heart:

He's probably just not feeling well at this point. Are there any other symptoms of PT?

 

[Aida]

Oh wow. I'm so sorry.

He looks precious.

He's not holding his food properly.
Using one paw for balance and acting confused.
All signs I have seen before in Jeramy, Jenny & Taylor.

 

[jorats]

Sounds like PT?
