I do believe a couple of the rats I have been able to obtain did have or begun to have URI’s and between the GF and I we have been administering antibiotics (she is a vet tech and the vet we deal with said the antibiotics would not harm pregnant/nursing rats and along with the litter)....

any help is greatly appreciated....

What are you considering a neurological issue? Ive had Pups get dehydrated from not being able to drink from a Ball thats to heavy in a water bottle and get Dizzy and Drunk acting.. What are the symptoms your noticing?
I had problems trying to breed feeder pet store Rats period.. Failure to thrive etc for 90% of offspring.. Try looking on Craigslist for Domestic Norway's that are from pets litters not isolated unhealthy/unsocialized feeder Rats.
