Hi there! I recently got a pair of young rats that pretty quickly developed a respiratory infection. After a few weeks of treatment, one unfortunately passed away. The original plan was to keep the remaining rat alone until he was given a clean bill of health and then introduce some new companions. But now the vet is saying that he will likely never get over the illness and it will be something that comes back throughout his life. What should I do? I definitely don't want to keep him alone, but I also don't want to risk the health of other rats by housing them together. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
