Hey guys, Im very new to this forum, I just found it on google whilst looking for help on my rat.
Im very sorry if this is in the wrong section but im just worried and would like help asap.
Basically about 2 weeks ago my rat got "Head Tilt" Now i know that its caused by 3 things, Tumor, Ear Infection or a stroke.
Me and my wife took her to the vet who said he cannot diagnose anything but gave me some antibiotics just incase it was an infection, I gave her the medicine 2 times a day as told but nothing is happening.
She was still very lively with this head tilt thing and was running arounf playing with us even though she had little balance, She was eating and drinking too.
Now it seems she is deteriorating as she cannot move her left side at all and uses her right legs to pull herself along things, If she tries to stand upshe rolls over onto the side thats "dead" She is in a little draw next to my bed and she doesn't move, She stays curled up in a ball and makes little squeeking noises that im not sure are caused by pain or breathing, I have noticed that she seems to move her head weirdly when im trying to hand feed her food, Its like she cannot see it and knocks her head off it, Im pretty sure she is on her last legs. Im pretty upset by this as i prefer my rat over my dog and i just want to make her happy before she goes.
She also has green stuff coming out her bum.
We have only had her 1 yr and 2 months and was bought as a baby, She is a pretty rare huskey rat.
We bought her with another rat that is doing fine, They were in the same cage but we took them out because the bigger rat would beat the crap out of the one that is sick ( Was not sick at the time ) And wouldnt let her eat or drink, I just hope that this hasn't caused it.
Thanks for reading.
Thanks for any help given.
