A great place to start for help on all things rat! Type in a health condition, for example "respiratory disease", a medication, or just browse their list of topics. 

Our Instagram Stories are a huge and constant source of learning! We have LOTS of rats, with all kinds of conditions. We try to talk about the various things we do, what we treat, how we treat it, tips and tricks for improving your rats life, and MORE!

We recommend that everyone purchase some enrofloxacin and doxycycline from one of these websites right away to have on hand in case any of your rats get a respiratory infection (VERY COMMON in rats, and can be severe if not treated promptly). Getting in to a vet and getting meds in time can often be challenging, early treatment is key to successful and fast recovery, so having it can be a life saver. You don’t need a prescription to order from these sites, and if you ever need to use any, we are happy to help direct you on the vet recommended dosing.

You can also purchase azithromycin, which is another common antibiotic used for respiratory infections, at the following website:

*NOTE: We are not veterinarians, but we know that people purchase from these sites ALL THE TIME ALREADY, because as anyone in the rat community knows, getting proper care for rats is often EXTREMELY hard, and we've all had to take it upon ourselves to help our rats....So, since people are buying and using their own medication anyway, we want people to do it SAFELY, and reach out for dosing advice.
