Symptoms Spanking: The rat produces a crackling (bubbly) sound similar to the pigeon crows Frequent jerking, rinsing of the nose: it may be accompanied by mucus formation, which rats bleed Porphyrin secreted from the eyes or nose - this is a dye produced by Harder's gland, often confused with blood. Rats produce porphyrin, among other things, as a manifestation of the disease. The rat often destroys porphyrin on the chest limbs, hips and back, often seen in bright mice. Decreased appetite: sometimes inability to eat because of extreme dyspnoea Apathy, lying down Crowded posture, bruised hair, teeth grinding (all manifestations of discomfort) Other abnormal sounds and difficulty in breathing: cracking, whistling, strenuous breathing (in severe cases, the rat is inhaled heavily through the stomach - it helps the belly press muscles, it can snap out)
