I advise you take your rat to a vet immediately. Rats are prone to pneumonia. Left untreated, it will kill them!
Causes of pneumonia in rats include but aren't limited to -
-Poor cage ventilation (A tank/aquarium) is the worst home for a rat
-Bedding type. Cedar is the worst for a rat. pine and aspen are also not the best. Recycled paper is the safest as it has no odor. it is also pretty good at controlling it
-Cage not being cleaned often enough. This should be done at least once a week.
-*sick human*. this could be a myth but you shouldn't handle them if you are ill just in case.
SIGNS ARE-
-wheezing
-Sneezing
-Coughing
-panting
-shortness of breath
