Help!!! My Rat had gotten out for a few days, unfortunattly the night I saw her running was when the electric was out, so when I went to get her, I know better I really do but I grabbed her by the tail...( I know I know) and well I skinned her...I was advised to put flour on her tail and pressure, that wasn't easy but I did it...It's 18 hrs later and she is still making crying sounds ( my heart is aching! ) and staying in the corner of her cage. Her sister will not leave her side. Does ANYONE know what else I can do for her ??? I feel horrid...My heart is aching, the guilt...But this isn't about me, it's about her..I cannot afford to bring her to a vet..Is she going to die from this?? is there anything I can do to make her more comforatable??
Please don't tell me that picking her up by the tail was wrong I so know that and wish I could go back in time..
ANY good advice will be greatly appreciated...
A very guitly rat mommy...
Thank you in advance. Sigh...
