My pesky boy rats are off to the vet again in a few hours. One developed a skin infection after a lice incident and isn’t responding to treatment, and all have respiratory issues that aren’t responding to the current antibiotic. My girls are well behaved - these boys though! I’m sure they will get a different antibiotic for the respiratory issue. I don’t know what we will do with my little fur losing guy. Hoping the vet knows what to do right away.

She’s a great vet, even trained in the rain forest at one point. I’m sure she will have a plan.
