  Hello, Your site is the best I have found for helping me with my rats' health. Thank you for taking the time to help. I am a first time rat owner and one of my two rats just passed away suddenly (at 6 months old) and unfortuntaly it was over the weekend so I had him twice at the emergency vet. hospital here on Cape Cod and the doctor on duty both nights I brought him in didn't know much about rats (admittedly) -so I am at a loss to have any idea which disease he may have died from. I realize you can't diagnose him, but it would be helpful to have some idea (maybe based on his symptoms) what may have caused his death so I know what to tell my vet if my second rat...

  We have two rats, brothers from the same litter. One is a typical hooded rat and the other is a dumbo. They are just over three years old and have recently been experiencing hair loss and chronic itching. There are no pustules, bumps or swelling; the skin is only slightly irritated due to their scratching. We use shredded paper for their bedding. The hair loss is rather sporadic: under their throats, up their front legs, along their backs. We're not sure if the hair loss is because of their scratching or if there is an underlying factor. We have recently moved into a smoking household and are concerned whether or not the residual smoke could be the cause, or if it could...
