Rat My pet is sick, What to do?

My 18 month old mouse started acting strange about 2 days earlier, lost balance always falls back on the red crust around his left eye, nose and paws, 2 red spots on both sides of the head his. He looks like he does not know whats going on. 1 minute he was dismissed after weary wandering in circles. Please help, Thanks, Abie

Hey Abie, He sounds like your son has less tilt head. This is an inner ear infection, Once doubt is infected it will affect his balance and will throw off balance. Stuff is angry red porphyrin. All rats produce it, but when a mouse is sick, stressed or has a poor diet they issued it in large quantities as you are describing. mycoplasma is a chronic infection that almost all have rats. Once the ear infection goes internal, it causes secondary infection of the inner ear. Certainly better treatment in this point is to manage a full spectrum antibiotic. Amoxicillin or Baytril works best in my experience. Depending on its concentration provides dose will vary. Also, treatment with an anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen to 15-60 mg / lb 2-4 times in day, along with antibiotics, it is vital to help reduce inflammation in the inner ear. A head tilt may be caused by a pituitary tumor or stroke, and in this case the primary treatment is with steroids. But antibiotics must also be that press the immune system by steroids. At this point the only thing you can do to save him is take it to own. If this is left for a long time untreated head tilt can become permanent even after treatment. This also can cause heart disease if the infection travels there. Good luck with it. I hope you can get what its immediately.
