Rat. Age 1. Has noisy breathing coming from lung.?

My rat, Penelope is a little more than a year old. She lives in a fish tank with another rat, Gemini. I use Pine wood chips in my their cage, and I just recently heard that Pine bedding is a bad choice, and I am planning to change it. But aside from all that, for the first time today I noticed that she makes this noise when she breathes. I put her tummy up to my ear and I can hear it in her lungs. Maybe wheezing? It sounds like rattling. Should I be concerned? Or could this be a mild, temporary issue, and could be fixed by a simple bedding change?

It is probably a respiratory infection. Yes, pine it is a bad choice of bedding but a lot of people in the world use it and have never experienced any problems with their rats.

Respiratory infections are very common in rats. Mycoplasma pulmonis is the is said to be the common cause for respiratory infections. Every rat has it (except the ones used in laboratory's) but each rat will react differently to Myco.

Please take your rat to the vet so she will be able to give the proper diagnosis. If it is a respiratory infection then your vet will prescribe antibiotics or some form of medicine.

Keep an eye on your rat as well. If she begins to not eat or drink then it is probably more than a respiratory infection. Other symptoms that your rat is sick may be red discharge around eyes and nose, hunched appearance, staring coat, coughing and sneezing.

It would be best if you changed the bedding as pine is not good. I use cat litter as recommended by my vet. She said that it absorbs urine and helps chest problems. Some other good choices of bedding are Carefresh, Yesterday`s News, shredded paper or Aspen. Please also stay away from cedar beddings and if you do decide to use cat litter make sure it is dust free and is made from recycled paper.

Good luck! I hope the little fellow gets better.

My Iron Lung [Vinyl] $10.38 The import EP My Iron Lung is as close to a forgotten, long-lost Radiohead album as you can get. Although marketed and priced as an EP, it contains eight tracks, seven of which are unavailable anywhere else, and is half an hour long (which more than meets the criteria for a full-length). But besides its length, what makes My Iron Lung such a find is the quality of the tracks, all of them being great outtakes from the sessions for their classic 1995 full-length release The Bends. And because of the tracks' consistency and sequencing, it plays like a real album rather than a collection of B-sides and outtakes thrown together haphazardly. Starting off with the title track, which is the only song available elsewhere (on The Bends), the band hits you with one strong track after another, such as "The Trickster," "Lewis (Mistreated)," "Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong," and others. The only weak spot on My Iron Lung is a closing acoustic version of their breakthrough hit "Creep." Performed solo by singer Thom Yorke, it contains a surprisingly harsh and off-key middle section, but his sincerity helps overcome the version's shortcomings. No Radiohead fan's collection is complete without the My Iron Lung EP. [Note: The My Iron Lung EP is available in a few different formats, some including less tracks than others. Be sure to get the Australian import, which contains the full eight tracks.] ~ Greg Prato, Rovi

Women: Ever tried deep breathing as a pre-sex turn-on?

I recently discovered that deep breathing, done right, can turn on both you and your partner. Apparently many guys get quite turned-on when a woman takes deep enough breaths that her chest expands and contracts noticeably.

I was hanging out with a guy recently, and we were cuddling and both getting kind of horny, and he remarked that my breathing was a major turn-on for him. I was wearing a low-cut tank top with spaghetti straps at the time and apparently getting a little excited, so my chest was heaving a little, hehe!). Of course after he said that, I started taking really, really deep breaths on purpose, and he got even more turned-on, and that in turn made me get really turned on...

Is this like a known technique that other women have used before or am I onto something totally new here? Has anyone played around with this technique before during sex? I'm going to use it a lot in the future! I'm glad that I have pretty big lungs, too!

never heard that before, but i'll try it now... thanks for the new technique!!
