Noisy rat...Oct 30 update and question

[sands]

Peanut has gotten noisy over the last few days. I am taking her to Dr Munn tomorrow. Any thoughts?

Sounds like there's some congestion. Dr. Munn will know exactly what to give your little one.

 

[sands]

3 week course of meds.

Peanut finished her 3 week course of meds, baytril and doxy, on the weekend.

She is no longer sneezing or sounding noisy like she did before treatment; however, her rate of respiration seems faster than her sister and I can see her breathing more on the side of her body. Otherwise seems her usual alert self. I wonder if she is less active in the cage as she is putting on weight (or could be older rat weight gain as lilspaz mentioned in another post).

Do I just continue to watch her?

I dont ever just watch labored breathing.... She could probably use a recheck.

 

[jorats]

I would definitely ask for a recheck. Get a good listen to those lungs.
When you call to make an appointment be sure to use the word "recheck". It should be cheaper than a real appointment.

Thank you to both of you.

I will be calling later this morning.

 

[sands]

Meds extended for three more weeks.

 

[jorats]

Keeping fingers crossed this will do it.

Thank you both.
