For the last week I have noticed that Snow has been "picking" on Speedy more than usual and everynight when I bring them out for play time that Speedy's fur has "chew marks" on the back of her neck...no broken skin just messy fur. The last two days this has grown to include "messy fur" all over her back.
She does not have runny stool, but last night when I went to get them out Speedy looked and acted like a 90 year old rat! No way near her usual self. Speedy got her name for her speedy pshyco ways and now she is very limp, listless and not moving around very well. She also is really not showing any interest in food. When she does finally make her way to the bottom of the cage she just nudges the food around and then just slowly makes her way back to her hammock. She has been in the hammock almost continuously curled up on her self since yesterday. Now 2 nights ago I had her and Snow out for play time and she was fine....running all over my bed, and back and forth from my computer desk to my bed. I don't understand this.
I have moved Snow out of the cage last night as I thought she was just being beat on to much but after a night of rest she seems no better!
I can not make it to a vet today as we are having a huge birthday party with lots of guests in just a few hours. I am at a loss? This is NOT my Speedy.
Any one have any ideas? Please, any ?
