Yes, your laboratory rat can be ill.

And there is a very good change that the illness is a form of cancer. Being a laboratory rat does not mean a clean rat, it means they were bred for a purpose. And became friendly pets in the process.

To know what is happening to your rat, please take her / him to the vet.
