So we got a rat for our bp, came home to find him in shed. Daughter wants to keep rat for a pet (she is pretty cute). But we were holding her and can hear a raspy sounding breathing, along with sneezing. Is this RI in a rat? Can it be fixed with out a trip to the vet? This was supposed to be a feeder, so I don't really want to dump a bunch of money in the vet. Nor do I want to feed it to my bp if its sick. Opinions???
