Rabskuttle looks for the yogies

Unfortunately, what Rabskuttle is getting is a course of Zitromax. He's been a bit grunty and sneezy, nothing major, but when I took him to the vet today, the lung noises concerned Dr. F. We did an x-ray, and there were patches on his lungs...nothing like Misto, but the vet thinks we're dealing with pneumonia.

I think we are catching it early. When Bob, our retired lab rat, had his pneumonia, he refused to eat and was so lethargic he was almost floppy. One thing I can say for Rabby, his appetite is just fine.

Hmmm, judging from the size of most of your ratties, I would say their appetites are fine indeed!

Little Rabskuttle looks like a very cheeky little fellow... hope the medicine fixes him... Poor little fellow..

good to hear Rabby has a good appetite, it helps with fighting the infection..
