Another sick girl! Im getting scared

[Ilovewinston]

So its been a little while since leopold and winston died and now i have a girl here who is sneezing alot and when shes at rest her head keeps moving from side to side like crazy... its insane... And im getting really scared here. If its a virus it could very well kill off all my girls!

she is new?  could be new home sneezies.  Rats put in a new environment sometimes sneeze for a few days...they have sensitive respiratory systems and your home has all new smells.

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.

Is she (or anyone else) new?  Did you quarantine properly?

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.
