Cicero really looks poorly. He continues to have more labored breathing than normal. There is now some wheezy sounds. He is lethargic and has no interest in food that I noticed. I am questioning whether or not he is dehydrated- pinch test resulted in slower than normal return. Coat and eyes have a dull appearance. I gave him some more Baytril but it seems whenever I handle him, he starts breathing heavier so I know whatever I am doing is stressing him out.

Sero's facial bite wound is looking much better. Still some bruising but the wound itself looks pretty good.
Vaux's lump is indeed a abscess.  It now is flat but has a blackish crusty scab over it. In my experience, its almost worse to mess with them at this point so I am leaving it alone but will continue to monitor it.
Cicero's breathing appears to look a bit labored. He isn't making any noise, but his sides move in and out much more than normal. Putting him on Baytril.

Treated all rats, with the exception of Nymeria, with their last dose of ivermectin, even if a few days late. No noisy breathing detected from Cicero lately!

Started Cicero back on the rosehip remedy

Cicero's noisy breathing has returned. Thinking I should have continued the rosehip remedy a little longer than just three days. Must gather ingredients to make another batch ASAP.

Cicero's breathing sounds much better. Treated with 1/2 tsp of my homemade rosehip remedy (reference:http://www.ratwhisperer.net/2012/11/my-homemade-remedy-for-wheezy-rats.html)
