Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / February 2007Eye cooties!
A week or so ago I wrote about my friend and her rat with the eye gunk. Well today I made a visit with the vet for my hairless boy for the same damn thing. He told me that what my Joe has is an eye infection! I washed my flipping hands when I got home from being at my friends house. I feel sick to my stomach thinking I passed this along to my boy :( So now hes on Pentamycetin for 10 days. Anyone ever used this for their ratties before? Any side effects that I should be aware of? I asked the vet and he said none that he could think of (this guy isnt their regular vet) Thanks in advance, Dawn > A week or so ago I wrote about my friend and her rat with the eye > gunk.

I don't think there are any side effects to worry about. I'd tell your friend to do the same with her little one too. Sending well wishes to little Joe.  SignatureJoanne Owned by 24 rats.

And with that amount more can be snook in without hubby realising! Tracey How true Tracey, Hubby gave up asking how many we had.. he never got a straight answer and he was sure there was more in the house each time he looked..:)) I did come clean in the end and he didn't care.:) Regards Kate. >> Jeepers Joanne I am keeping track of that signature of yours... those >> numbers are creeping up....LOL [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Tracey > How true Tracey, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Regards Kate. Lol, awww bless him you've got a good 'n there (remembering too how he built your ratties a fab mansion to live in)! Tracey > How true Tracey, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Regards Kate. Kate and Tracey how may rats do you guys have? Dewi >> How true Tracey, >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Dewi I lost my last two last year :o( and decided to have a bit of a break after twelve years of keeping them. The most I had at once wasn't many - only four - so my fiance would have noticed had I tried to sneak any in! I do miss ratties and will definitely have some more one day, probably when we get a bigger place and money isn't so tight (the vets bills sure add up!) - it's a chance for me to have a break from all the upset of keep losing them too. It's nice to still come here and read about others' rats, their funny little antics and go gooey over the pics :o) Tracey > >> How true Tracey, > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Tracey Oh I know what you mean. I'm thinking about having a break after my lot eventually go. Emotionally it's very taxing when they die and get ill. The vet bills are awfully expensive too. Just to think, that will be only 2 years from now at the most! I feel guilty about giving rats a break though, as I do love the little fellas.

(only available space) I didn't tell hubby. He came home, made himself supper and when I came back from work I said, hope you aren't mad. He looks at me, baffled, what for? Um... didn't you see the cage on the counter? Oh... no,never seen it till you mentioned it. Doh! But he wasn't upset with it. I think he knows to just play along.

Especially as you washed your hands. I hope both rats recover well, which I'm sure they will. Dewi |
