I have two elderly rats who are almost two years old. I am extremely concerned about one of them whose name is Remmie. He has gotten very skinny despite the plentiful and easily accessible food supply. I am looking for some high calorie things to help him put some more weight on because he is starting to feel like skin and bones. I was wondering about giving him some milk through a syringe because he will eat anything that comes out of syringe. He is showing signs of a typical aging male rat, but I want to try and make him as comfortable as possible. He is showing signs of hind leg degeneration, but he still is able to move his hind legs a little bit. Is there anything I can do to prevent his hind legs from becoming completely paralyzed? I was doing some reading but I could not find anything from a reliable source.
