what's wrong with my rat? :(

Good to hear!! I still don't think its a tumour from how bright and lively he was

What did Sam give you?

he's getting baytril, doxy, and metacam! I presume baytril + doxy are antibiotics and metacam is for pain? not sure. he's also getting some extra high-calorie liquid stuff the doc recommended! at first he refused to drink it all, but I mixed it with some yoghurt and he happily laps up every last drop now. :cheeky:

he's been put in a small single-level cage with my most docile baby (Poppy!), so since they don't get as much room to run around I give them more out-time. Strider is moving a lot faster than he usually EVER did, weird! he's like hyper or something (maybe it's the energy drink? lol). still shaky, but I actually think he's showing some improvement!!

Your presumptions are right. Metacam is an anti-inflammatory as well as pain relief, so maybe he's just plain feeling better?
