OMG Autocorrect. It is a common infection caused by bedding such as care fresh that holds in ammonia from urine. I was told to use Tylan diluted in their water bottle for 2 to 3 weeks and if I don't see improvement then they will need baytril. I am sorry you lost your rat this way. It's apparently fairly common and easily treated
Wow, I spent $70 for a vet to give me a bottle of drops to put in the water also...I didnt work.. I dont think it was called Tylan though :l
