Is it possible her head was crushed or she had some other form of blunt trauma? I know some rat racks are difficult to close and accidental injuries can be caused without knowledge from the keepers.

On a personal note, if you notice she is suffering and still has the same symptoms tomorrow, I would euthanize her.

Anyway, good luck.
Ive held her and shes breathing normally and is trying to sit up right. But she just cant do it and she is eating when she wants. I know i didnt cause the trama if there is some as i use my hand to push thier heads back in when they try to come back out.

Though like i said her and her sister were rough housing a day or so ago and she was fine. I think she got roughed too much but wont ever know really why.
