Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / August 2005Upper Respiratory Tract Infections
I was wondering if anybody knew anything about Upper Respiratory tract Infections in rats. Specifically Syncytial Virus. Thanks.

I have had plenty of rats with URI. But I haven't heard of RSV in my rats but that's not to mean they never had it. My vet has never put a name on the virus causing the URI. How did you come about this diagnosis? Joanne Owned by 14 rats > > I was wondering if anybody knew anything about Upper Respiratory tract > > Infections in rats. Specifically Syncytial Virus. [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Joanne > Owned by 14 rats Hi Joanne, sorry its taken so long to get back to you. The vet I saw suggested it. I have two females that suddenly came down with sneezing fits. It just came out of the blue. They were given antibiotics, and it cleared the sneezing up. I just wondered if anybody knew anything about it. I am uncertain about his diagnosis, because the antibiotics worked on the sneezing so quickly, and I thought viruses couldn't be treated with antibiotics.

What kind of antibiotics were they given? Without any cultures done, it must have been a guess. Maybe he'll look into it further, that would be so good if a vet did try to pursue it. Good to hear your little ones are ok again!! Joanne Owned by 14 rats |
