I had the same problem 6 months ago with my rat. Our vet at the time had been waiting on a meds shipment, so he gave me an alternative suggestion. A product called Nutri-cal is designed for dogs who are underweight due to finicky eating habits. It is loaded with vitamins, calories and fat grams. You can get it from any pet store, just make sure you only give your rat a very small amount at a time, once a day. My rat was finally getting some weight after about a week and a half. You can also give rats small amounts of dog food- which is tasty, healthy, and high in fat. Also maybe once a week I give mine a french fry, a bit of scrambled egg, or a tiny peanut butter sandwich.(PB has no cholesterol)
