I'm not an infectious disease expert but I don't think a parasite can be frozen, ingested and reproduce. Maybe. It prolly came from when it got loose. Hopefully ur vet will help narrow it down. Sorry to hear it. Good luck
    I'd have to double check her records (I'm at work now), but I don't think I've ever fed her live.
    At this point I'm not willing to say where I got her from until I talk to them. It doesn't seem fair to cast doubt on anyone when it is likely she may have gotten it when she escaped. I also highly doubt she had it when I got her but I haven't had a fecal exam done on her before.
    I also believe it is possible for parasites to survive in a freezer. They have to reach a certain degree before they die so it's possible my freezer isn't cold enough. I don't really know though.
    Treatment for this is going to be interesting though. They were out of the inject-able medication so I have to give her a little pill on Sunday when I feed and again in 2 weeks. I haven't quite worked out how I'm going to get the pill into the rat though.
