  1. I have exspirenced the same thing

    There is one cure!

    You can feed it apple and dryfood and water

    Then in the next 2 days it will go away,The pain does not hurt a rat

    Do not worry,i do this all the time and it goes away


  2. seems like yes eye boogies...clean the cage and try using a different bedding something might be irritating him.I had a pet rat for years..try to let him outside as well being in a cage all the time isnt a good idea

  3. he could be developing something called Myco. rats have a bacteria in their lungs called Mycoplasma. Sometimes the bacteria can act up, causing a chronic respiratory infection. There is no cure for Myco, however, th symptoms can be treated with an antibiotic from your vet. Some symptoms of Myco are sneezing, wheezing, lethargy, and red discharge from the eyes and nose. Good Luck!

  4. no idea. Call a y=vet!H!!

  5. He could have Myco.

  6. It sounds like he could be developing a respiratory infection.  I would take him to the vet soon, respiratory infections are generally easier to treat if they are seen in the early stages.
