Bonnie is sick

Question
My pet rat Bonnie is not feeling well.  It started today.   She won't get out of her tube, she seems a little wobbly and chilled.  I'm not sure but I think she may be dehydrated too.  The cats in my house are sick with upper respritory problems right now and I am doctoring them with amoxacilin.  will it be ok to give it to Bonnie too?

Answer
No she needs medication that works on mycoplasmosis and amoxil is not one of the drugs that work on this organism.

She will need a vet that knows about rats and their proper care. CHeck out my site about myco and how to treat it so you can be sure the vet you see does it the right way or your rat will continue to be sick off and on with this for the rest of her life.

You need to get fluids in her but most of all, she needs a vet.
