I would think that any breed isn't immune to deafness. How old is your Rattie? Try clapping your hands together really loud right over it's head while it's sleeping and see if there is a reaction. I had a deaf dalmation pup once, and I didnt even know she was deaf for a long time---just thought she was "hard-headed and stubborn". Your vet should be able to verify deafness for you, if you suspect it. |
