AnswerHow old is your rat?
What medication did the vet give her? When she first got sick, how was she acting?
It sounds like she may have had a stroke. You may need to find an emergency vet tonight to have someone see her right away. If you need help finding an ER clinic that sees rats or a vet that sees rats that is a qualified exotic vet, please let me know and I will help locate some for you.
