    This should NOT wait, IMO. (assuming she actually was bit in the eye, which I cannot tell from the pics either)
    I feed live, the last one I fed her was on the bigger side than normal, so I'm gonna be down sizing from now on.
    Yeah, I'll probably call to see if they have any cancellations. They're just booked until Thurday morning. I'm pretty worried about
    the infections and what not so that's why i wanted to see if there was more I can do while I wait for the vet.
    I can't afford emergency, but a vet visit is fine.

    I don't think she was BIT in the eye; when she coiled the rat before I let her do her thing, I saw it's head peek out, no where near her eye. I think what happened was that it got scratched from a hind claw.
