Gerbil Lethargic

Question
Hey,
My gerbil is about 2 yrs old and she is just hunched in the corner of her cage. She is clicking just a little bit when she walks around but when she is just still, i hear nothing. This started about 12 hours ago. I will not be able to go to the store until tomorrow but what can I do in the mean time. And what can i get that is going to help her.  

Answer
Hello,

She may have a chest infection/cold (or it maybe something totally different) and so the vet will probably need to prescribe some antibiotics to clear this up.

In the meantime you just need to make sure she is kept very warm and ensure that she is eating and drinking!!

I hope she is ok! Let me know how she gets on,
Thanks,
Charlie.
