You don't need a prescription to buy from pet shed dot com. http://www.petshed.com/revolution.asp

Try My Pet Warehouse or Pets Direct as I use them and are cheaper than others. I just checked 1800PetMeds and they are more expensive.

I get Revolution from petsmegastore.com out of Australia. No script needed, but you will have to wait a week for shipment. I had a pet rat rescued from the wild who suffered lice and had bad hair loss. I was out of Revolution at the time, so while I waited for it to ship, I slathered him in liquid coconut oil. I let it sit for about a half hour, then bathed him with Dawn. It really helped a ton!

Brianah I hate to ask, but who is your vet? I am in MA, and I volunteer for Mainely rat rescue, so I have literally met with over 30 different vets in MA an NH...and have never heard of a vet only give a weeks worth of meds like that. In fact some vets, give me the paper script and I fill it at a local CVS. One of my favorite vets is The Odd Pet Vet in South Weymouth. I have also used several different VCAs in the area as well Dr Holmes in Walpole. Here are a couple of Links....

wound care page in Ratguide has how to make saline wound solution info. http://ratguide.com/health/trauma/wounds.php

example of store bought Sterile Saline Wound Wash http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/walgreens-saline-wound-wash/ID=prod6163151-product

For some reason I thought I was on a different medical post. Yes you can buy revolution without a vet. Revolution is the safest :) 1800 petmeds.com

This has information about Revolution (selamectin) http://ratguide.com/meds/anti-infectives/selamectin_revolution.php The manufacturer has a customer service line that I called with general questions about Revolution like whether or not I had to wash bedding. 1-888-963-8471

Kitten Revolution (called Stronghold here in Europe) is the only thing I use. It has shown to be safe for rats even when overdosed with 10 times the recommended dose. And it is really effective ^_^ here you need a prescription from a vet, and it can be smart anyways to get help to calculate the proper dose for each rat:)

Whether you see bugs on a rat or mouse, or you just witness scabs or itching, that pet and all other rats and mice in the room must be treated and their cages well cleaned. If you have other rats or mice and do not think they have parasites, they do; they just have few enough to not yet be observable, but will get worse over time and absolutely reinfect the observable one. Because mites are almost invisible to the human eye, and because mice and rats always have a few mites but under control, never doubt that your pet could have mites. Ectoparasites (parasites on the skin) must always be treated. The by far safest, most reliable, simplest, easiest, and least stressful method to treat these parasites is selamectin, sold as Revolution in the US and Stronghold in the UK. It involves one or two drops on, not in, the pet; non stressful cage cleaning, and no repetition or worries for at least a month and likely far longer. Directions and much more information are in the following document from the files section (Our many very helpful and interesting documents and collections can be found thus: click on 'files' under the banner; or click ON the banner; choose 'files'; or click on three dots; group info; files.): Treating Ectoparasites (Mites, Fleas, etc): The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: https://www.facebook.com/notes/351955091585361/Treating%20Ectoparasites%20(Mites,%20Fleas,%20etc):%20The%20Good,%20the%20Bad,%20and%20the%20Ugly./724243581023175/ The next safest solution, ivermectin, has the disadvantage that it is 40x more dangerous than selamectin; the advantages are availability and price, but the disadvantages can be deadly. In the UK it is widely available labeled Beaphur; in the US you can buy a liquid version for cows for external use or a paste version for horses which they must ingest. Instructions are in the above listed document, as well as scientific research of comparison of the two methods. People will offer dozens of home remedies for ectoparasites. All we have encountered are dangerous in one way or another. I would ask that anyone who is still tempted to offer a home remedy first read the document linked above and see if it is listed as dangerous. If it isn’t, let me know and I will research it.

If he has had difficulty grooming the issue with his genitals might be paraphimosis see link here: http://ratguide.com/health/reproductive/paraphimosis.php As for the mobility issues it could be so many reasons, you mentioned you are spoon feeding him, is that because of weakness in his fore limbs?

Australia does not require a prescription for revolution. http://www.petsofoz.net

Looks like cataracts http://ratguide.com/health/eyes/cataracts.php

Looks like a corneal ulceration. He will need at the minimum a topical antibiotic eyedrops, and perhaps something to promote tear production and pain medication. If it's reoccurring or damages the orb itself, the eye most likely needs to be removed. . Do not be fooled - rats are prey animals - it's his job to act like he is not in pain. Have you ever had a spec of dust in your eye? Sucks, yeah? Well, you get the idea that things in your eye are not fun, and over time just hurt more as they irritate the surrounding tissues - but imagine it to the point where the entire surface of your eye is infected. We are humans and can cry and moan about pain - rats do not.:( For now all you can do is rinse it 3-5 times a day with saline eye drops (rewetting drops) to keep it clean. You should also put Blink Gel Tears in his eye multiple times a day. As the orb swells, the blink reflex slows, and the eye dries out. This just makes things worse long term, and the gel drops will help keep it moisturized. He definitely needs to see a vet. Honestly, if this has happened more then 2 times, I would just get it taken out. Eye infections are terribly painful, and can travel into the sinuses, jaw, or even brain. If he's got chronic issues, it's better just to take away the potential for reinfection. Good luck. ~RAA Mod & Medical Help

I just have Dr. Powers prescribe me a bunch of refills on baytril at this point, then I just call it into mendo animal hospital when I need it and she just gives the pharmacist the auth within about an hour.:)

I got mine here www.allbirdproducts.com. The 10% (25 ml) Read up on dosage. It's like a drop for 1 lb rat

Also here is more info on dosage http://www.ratfanclub.org/resp.html

www.ladygouldianfinch.com Baytril on their site is listed by generic drug name, Enroflaxin. We order the 10%, and adjust dosage accordingly. Still not cheap, but at least doesn't require a vet prescription.

We get a discount on Baytril at allbirdproducts.com. Use code RAA for $5 off.

Eye removal is a must. Asap Don't want infection to set In. Bless her

Dr. Werlin ar Porter Square Vererinarian in Somerville has done a great job with all of my babies surgeries. She doesn’t know some rat specific stuff though, such as not fasting a rat before surgery. Also make sure you get enough pain meds for multiple doses per day for at least a week, and/or use infant ibuprofen to supplement what they give you

An excellent and affordable vet is the odd pet vet in south weymouth. All proceeds from this public vet clinic go to the help the wildlife. Dr Mertz is fantastic, he is compassionate, intelligent when it comes to exotics (its all he does) and he is an all around nice guy......https://www.newildlife.org/oddpetvet/

Oh my goodness, he certainly does need pain meds. The best way to keep rats from chewing at stitches is to keep pain under control. I have never used a coller post op...and have never had one chew stitches. Perhaps Amanda Lynn can tag a medical person here to give advice here. But Id certainly call back the vet asap to get somthing.

Awww poor little guy..Get Well Soon
