Answer
Hi Heidi

I need to know where your located in order to suggest a Vet for your rat.

Also, I am sorry your rat died. Here is more info on respiratory disease our rats are prone to, called MYCOPLASMOSIS.  THere are some ways to help prevent it but it can never really be cured. Once they get sick with it they need a vet no matter what.  Learn more about it to prevent your other rats from getting worse in the future. Here is the url. Dont forget to let me know your location so I can give you vet names!
