 Expertise:
I am a rat care specialist for area vets and have 20 years experience working with rats.
I can advise you on the most current treatments available to your rat for common and also complicated ailments that seem to affect domestic rats during their life time. I do telephone consults with Vets both from out of state and also visit the clinics. I love what I do because I love rats and getting to work with them and help other people is like a blessing to me. I also have training in animal behavior with the main focus being the study of rodent behavior.
My expertise
Includes the following:
1. Education on prevention of tumors, lung and heart disease and disease of the kidneys too.
2. Up to date treatments for tumors in rats,both benign or malignant tumors.
3. The most current treatments used successfully to treat lung and heart disease
4. Prevention and treatment of the mycoplasma organism that our rats are plagued with since the day they are born, among other common ailments that attack our rats, just to name a few.
My job as a rodent consultant is to educate the owner on proper care of the animal but in no way does my advice take the place of seeking professional treatment by a qualified Veterinarian.
However, I will contribute to this site by answering your questions about raising pet rats and any problems that may arise regarding their health, diet, husbandry and over all well being of the rat to **the best of my ability.**

Experience with Rats Aside from owning rats,which currently I have 4 older male rats that I adore:) I am a rodent consultant with my specialty being RATS, and also write rat care brochures. Previously, I was a Rodent specialist/consultant for ER animal clinic. I am currently putting together a rat care book. Its time there was some more up to date material out there that discuss the most current treatments for common but sometimes deadly ailments that our rats are prone to developing.
