Question
my rat is sneezing quite a bit latley i havnt got any new bedding or anything i think could cause this but also she seems to be sitting in bed rather a lot too there is no red around her eyes and nose  bearing in mind her eyes are a naturally redish coulour. should i take her to see a vet or can i treat her at home ?    i havnt taken her to a vet before and i dont know of one nearby. p.s do you have to pay for a rat chekup?


Answer
I think its a good idea she see a vet, esp if there have been no changes to her cage such as litter/bedding etc....

Let me know where in the UK your located and I will give you some names of vets that treat rats.  And yes, there is a charge for a check up.
