Has anyone ever seen anything like this before? Her mouth has been like this for a couple weeks now. Right before it started my retic went after a large rat (pre-killed of course) and slammed her head into the wall of the tub really hard. I'm thinking it may have bruised her mouth? And I've been feeding her extra large rats, she actually had two this week a few days before I took this photo, it seems like maybe the jumbo rats irritated it even more. I was hoping to get a couple large rats in her before she goes off of feed for the next couple months.
She is gravid with eggs so I'm not sure I want to transport her to the vet, but I did send them an e-mail, hoping to send them some photos and hopefully they can tell me what is going on. She has no other symptoms, not lethargic or making sounds, she seems to be her normal self besides this enlargement in her mouth.
Her tub smells fresh and clean, I just needed to do a spot clean in these pics. I did a quick internet search and I didn't see anything similar. She is real mellow, not pushing on the tub or pacing at all. Very strange... She did seem to have a slight pre-ovulation swell this morning.
