Weak wobbly legs.... (rat pup)

monitorman315 Jul 27, 2004 07:43 AM

Anyone ever experience/see a rat pup wobble(stagger) when it walks? I posted a couple of days ago about losing two weanling rat pups and couldn't figure out why. After thinking about this mind boggling senario a bit more i remembered that before they died they had gotten really weak in the legs and when they walked it looked as if they could fall over at any second. Does anyone know what this may be a symptom of?
