One of my rats who is 10 months has an intermittent cough. Happens about twice a day and doesnt last long, am just concerned it might be the dreaded mycoplasma. At the mo he is perfectly happy, grooming, eating, playing with his cagemate. He is due to go to the vet in a week for a follow up lice treatment and its the PDSA as I cant afford regular vet.
I guess I just want to know if its cause for alarm. Thanks in advance.

My sil keeps rats and swears by an advice guide published by the "rat lady" ratfanclub.org/helpinfo.html

Sounds like he needs a vet.Do you keep your rats o sawdust or wood chippings? That would cause respiratory problems because of the chemicals in the wood. There's lots of alternatives. Go to WWW.fancy-rats.co.uk. It's an excellent website with great advice and information. Hope that helps!
