does anyone on here have any rat knowledge. my rat has lost some of the use of his back right leg but seems healthy otherwise. wondered if this was or is a common rat thing. vet not sure as to cause.
ummm doesn't sound too good does it? Suggest you speak to Nerys or Pimperella, they both breed ratties so if they can't help you direct they probably can point you in the right direction.
What age is he as it can be sign that his kidneys are failing,that happened to mine they can still lead a comfortable life but speak to your vet to see if they can give anything for it.
thanx for your suggestions everyone. going to different vet with him will suggest possible kidney problem.
to DUCK sorry to hear about your rat know how easy it is to get attached.
