If you have just brought home a fancy rat or two, it’s best not to handle them for at least 3-4 days while they get used to their new surroundings. Fancy rats can easily get sick long after they have settled in. If you notice any of the following symptoms, you should contact your vet clinic.
- Eyes that are swollen, cloudy, or sunken
- Front teeth that are overgrown
- Bare patches in the fur coat
- Diarrhea or droppings with abnormal color
- Unexplained weight loss
- Abnormal drinking or eating habits
- Discharge from body openings (eyes, nose, or mouth)
- Sneezing
To protect your pet from getting sick, make sure to thoroughly wash your hands before holding your pet. Since, animals can carry diseases and parasites that may infect humans, always wash your hands with soap and water after handling any pet.
If you have any concerns about your pet’s health and/or behavior, make an appointment with your pet clinic Rialto, CA. Or click this website Valley Animal Hospital.
