Comment on Tilda Kisses by ~qotastic [top] [parent]

S/he probably has mycoplasmosis... My previous pair had it. It's an untreatable condition (you can really only treat the symptoms, the sneezing/sniffles temporarily with antibiotics,) but it can be manageable with a low stress environment and frequent cage-changes. The ammonia in their urine can cause it to flare up. Check out this article (if you haven't already..) [link]

That website is a wealth of information and I visit it often.

Although that particular article paints a pretty gruesome picture, I've had 4 rats with it, and most lived to their regular life-span. (2 1/2 years for my boys, who both developed unrelated tumors, and close to 3 years for my other male, who also died of unrelated cancer. My first one had it, she passed away at 5 months, but I had introduced a -very- sick kitten into the household, and I'm guessing this is what killed her...)

Anyways.. I'm babbling. :D I don't even know if this is your first rat or anything. If you have any questions or anything, I'd love talk. Hit me up on furc, or by a note here. And thank you for your condolences.. I appreciate it.

There are over 550 million firearms in circulation in the world. That's one firearm for every 12 people. The question is, "How do we arm the other 11?"

She got me pretty good the other day... I had some fruity lipgloss on, and damnit, she wanted to take my lip back to the cage to eat it I guess. Jesus damn! Lol

D: My Pallu has a respiratory infection but they said it's no big deal.

I'm sorry about Tilda.
