I am desperate, can someone please help me? I need to find a vet who
KNOWS about rats! I live in Elwood [Melbourne].

My 9 month old rat Ollie has had a depressed appetite for about 2
weeks. He doesn't have any other symptoms. He has been to the vet -
but they are just guessing. I have Deb Ducommun's Rat Health Care
booklet.
He has been on Baytril for about 3 days [no help], then
amoxicillin for 4.5 days [seemed to help at first, then he got
worse].Now he's on Baytril and doxycycline. He's had 2 doses, but
seems worse. It is harder and harder to tempt him to eat. He stays
in bed mostly, but is still pretty active when he comes out of his
cage. I don't know what to do! I love him and I don't want to lose
him. Please help!
Joelle.
