If your rat is having trouble breathing, you need to watch this video!

In this video, we demonstrate how to administer Baytril by syringe to two Roof Rats there were sneezing and sniffling.

We also talk about how to make it tastier so they will take it, where to buy it, how to calculate dosing and other medicines we use, like Ambroxol, Doxycycline and Azithromycin. Finally, we discuss common signs and symptoms to watch for if you are worried your roof rats might have a respiratory infection.

Please see our online Roof Rat medication dosing calculator, it covers oral-syringe, drinking-water, and in-food doses.
