My not even one year old boy rat always have the crusty blood looking stuff around mostly their nose one of my dumbo rats had it the worst but stopped after I changed their fleece in there baskets more but now the other 4 rats are getting it? I have a critter nation 3 tier and the bottom is my boys and then I enclosed the middle one from the bottom and then the top and middle is my 6 girls (I have so many because I ended up with a pregnant rat)🙄 but the girls never have it?! Idk if it’s something with their cage but I have no idea I am not on the verge to taking them to the vet because the vets here are super expensive because I am taking my older rat to the vet soon and I cannot afford to pay for 5 rats checkup. Plz Help I hate looking at their little faces with pneumonia on them. I also did take a cotton pad with warm water and hold it on the rats eye that was super bad and it made it better but I don’t know why all of a sudden they have it too? I forgot to mention there isn’t a lot of pneumonia on their nose just a little around their nose
 
Could you bring one rat in and explain the other have the same symptoms and buy more medication? My vet was willing to do so. Rats hide their illnesses so by the time you see it, it can be pretty serious/progressed. Pneumonia can cause lung scarring if gone untreated or not treated strong enough
