So recently my rat has been losing a LOT of weight and his fur has become patchy and he's really weak.
I took him to the vet, and explained that I thought maybe he wasn't eating because his father bullys him. The vet said he didn't seem to have any obvious health problems and to put him in a seperate cage and hand feed him for a while.
I've done this, it's been two days, and all he does when I'm not cuddling him or feeding him is sit in the corner of his cage. He can barely walk and is still very VERY thin, I can feel all of his bones.
I'm absolutely distraught as he's my favourite rat by far, and he's only one year old, I don't want him to die. D:
Help?
