strange noise

Question
My hairless has been VERY snoozy all day today which isnt that unusual for him...he seems fine though and has been eating but when I got him out to have a look at him I realised he's making a clicking noise in his breathing.  Is this a respiratory problem????

Answer
Hi Sam


Yes it sounds like he has a respiratory infection which means prompt treatment from a qualified vet. If you need a vet that sees rats please let me know your locaton and I can give you some names of good vets for rats.

The good news is you caught it in time since he is still eating etc...and this means he should recover without incident. Hope this helps.
