  1. sneezing, bony, and weeing? i'm not so sure about what it is but my best guess is a cold, because its sneezing. or it might be mites. some mites dont cause skin irritation but they can make rats loose weight. try taking it to a vet, i'm sure they'd know what it is.


  2. Hmm, weird,  is the pee healthy color, not red or anything? They do often pee to mark, like dogs.

    How often is she sneezing? Is there anything that looks like blood around her eyes and nose? (It's called poryphin and appears when they're sick or just woken up) Is there any wheezing or gurgling noise coming from her lungs. (I'm hoping to clear respiratory infection, as that can definitely kill if not treated.)

    How bony does she feel, just a little? Is she eating/drinking normally?

    I would take her to the exotic vet, especially if the answer is yes to any of my breathing questions or if she isn't eating or drinking.  


  3. Your pet is sick and needs a doctor.  At the minimum it sounds like a humongous urinary tract infection.  You say that she is losing weight also?  Please don't delay in getting her some help.  Urine BURNS when left on the skin and your pet is suffering.
