If you have any other rats, keep peanut away from them, she is very contagious. Rats are born or very receptive to diseases. I learned the hard way, THe one we may be able to avoid, is this respiratory disease, by keeping the cage clean. at least once a week and wash everything. toys, bowls, houses, AND the cage wires themselves. I use a wire cage with at least a second floor to keep them away from their own urine.
I hope you aren't too late, but they say that by the time you really realize the rat is sick, it could be too late. don't feel badly, we all make and learn the hard wayj with our first rat.
PEANUT, GET WELL.

ALSO, UNFORTUNETLY, YOU COULD EVEN BUY A RAT FROM A PET STORE THAT IS ALREADY SICK.
