"That teacher with all the weird animals!"
« on: May 19, 2003, 03:41:10 PM »
What I thought were possibly seasonal allergies yesterday, appear to be a bit of an epidemic among my rat kids.  Seven out of 16 are now on Baytril and 2 of those won't make it.

Daphne had tumor removal surgery a little over a month ago.  She has some problems with abscesses, but was doing just great last week. I'm sure her immune system was still weak though.  Friday she was fine, Saturday she was  a little quieter than normal, and Sunday she sounded like she has full blown pneumonia, and today she's dying.  She won't take anything, has that far away look in her eyes, and feels cool to the touch.   Her brother Chester isn't too far behind.  He fought an inner ear infection a few months back, got better, but I'm sure his immune system isn't where it should be either.

The vet and I have put everyone with even a little sniffle on antibiotics.  My rats are isolated from other rats.  I only have contact with a foster litter in another person's house (only since last Thursday) and I've always changed clothes and washed between contacts.

I'm almost positive I know where I picked this up at, but  won't say unless 100% sure.  I'm extremely worried about all of my other guys too.  It's not a great week.

I'm so sorry this is happening! There isn't much I can say that will make you feel any better. I know I would be just as worried and stressed out as you. I hope for the best for you and your ratties.

Daphne passed away about 20 minutes ago and I'm now up to 10 out of 16 rats exhibiting symptoms.  Daphne was one of Eloise and Dexter's kids and is survived by her mother, sister Lily and brothers Oscar, Chester, and Simon.
