My rat is making weird noises, like a stuffy nose noise?

Question

can I buy medication for her without a perscription? or do you think it will just pass if I clean the cage?

Help!

Answer 1

Mine is doing the same thing. Started yesterday. She is not very old and I use paper bedding. My vet said I could give my dog some Benadryl for itching. Thought maybe a drop would help unstuff my rats nose. Guess I will see. If it is an infection, it will not help. I did get her one of those hanging beds like for other critters. It had, still has some, fur she is tearing out. Wonder if the fur could be hurting her?
