Thanks everyone for wishing them a speedy trip.
As far as the vet visit went, Dr. Fellenz says they (as in Oscar, Fred, Daisy) all have respiratory problems which is probably caused by two viruses working against them. Well, now 2 of the 3 who had respiratory problems have passed away so now we are just dealing with one rattie who has problems. Dr. Fellenz said I should medicate them ALL twice a day- since the other ones probably will get it too, even though they aren't showing symptoms yet. So, I have to give 5 rats injections twice a day- that will be a challenge! They all get .25ml of baytril and I have to dissolve one capsule of doxycycline in .625ML of water and inject them with .25 of doxy. I have to do it twice a day for 21 days.I really hope it helps out Oscar and keeps the others from getting sick. When it comes to Chloe's tumor, I don't know if we are doing surgery. We still have to think about that.
*sigh*
