What do you have her bedded on? About the swaying, I will guess that she is pink or ruby-eyed? they have worse vision than black-eyed rats and this is a rats way to focus on something. You will also see this more if they are nervous or unsure. Title: Re: Another sick girl! Im getting scared Post by: Scubbs on May 16, 2008, 11:13:13 AM Is she (or anyone else) new? Did you quarantine properly?
Title: Re: Another sick girl! Im getting scared Post by: holly238 on May 16, 2008, 02:45:12 PM If I remember correctly, you got new girls and housed them immediately in the same room with Winston and Leopold, right? And then your boys both died unexpectedly within a few days?
It sounds like you have something really, really bad going on that requires immediate vet attention. All of the girls should see a vet and be put on antibiotics if this is the second female who is sick. And since you don't know what killed your boys (I can only assume it's something the girls introduced), you could have another crisis on your hands. |
