Health Symptom Checker

Tick the signs you're seeing. The checker suggests possible causes and the right next step. It is not a diagnosis — when in doubt, see an exotic vet.

⚠️ Emergency signs (go to a vet immediately): severe breathing difficulty / gasping, blue-tinged gums, seizures, unconsciousness, heavy bleeding, bloat with no stool/urine, sudden paralysis.

Observed Symptoms

Assessment

Select symptoms and click "Check Symptoms".

⚠️ This tool is educational only. It cannot examine your rat and cannot rule out serious illness. Many rat conditions worsen quickly. If symptoms persist for more than 24–48 hours, or your rat seems unwell, book an exotic-vet appointment.
