my rat i had to take to the vet because mukus came out of her mouth and nose
i sugest take your rat to the vet first, if the vet says there is nothing to do so the shower thing . Also, if you just got her, stress or the new environment may be making him/her sneeze. Allthough, your rat may also have an upper respetory(spell check, lol) infection, rats are prone to those.
SOMETIMES,
I have rats, they sneeze all the time. Every rat I have ever had sneezed. Its just either water, bedding or food seasoning that gets on there whiskers. But see a vet anyway, because one of mine had a cold once.
There are many reasons why rats may be sneezing. Most of the time, it is an allergy to household dust. If it is constant sneezing, there is more cause for concern.
Here are some of the common reasons for sneezing in rats:
- Allergies to dust and other allergens
- Respiratory condition called Mycoplasmosis
- Sendai virus which causes respiratory distress and other symptoms
- Pneumonia
- Auricular (ear) polyps
- SDA virus

Is it bad when your pet rat gets a bloody nose?
That isn't blood, the red discharge around your rats nose is called porpythrin. It depends how much there is; porpythrin is normal for rats to have every once in a while; rats also get it around their eyes, too. Don't worry about it unless it appears that your rat's "crying blood" or sneezing red liquid or they have so much on their nose that it's drpping.
My pet rat does this weird hiccup squeak thing when he's happy is that normal or should I get him checked?
