    Help!!!
    I was feeding my pewter and the rat some how escaped the coil when she struck. Now she has a lot of blood on & around her mouth. I can't tell if its from the rat or from her, and I'm seriously freaking right now. There isn't a vet open right now and the earliest I could get her in would possibly be tomorrow. Is there anything I can do right now?????

    Will try to get pictures tonight.

    EDIT - it looks like there is a lot of blood coming from her nostrils.

    If you can find where she is bleeding from, put pressure on the wound. Then keep her warm and quiet and take her in to the vet tomorrow for assessment.

    I'll see if I can do anything, but the way she's acting right now, she may not make it through the night.

    Exactly how is she acting?

    Did she eat? I'm guessing no. Can you open her mouth to see inside?
