She has a small puncture wound on her neck (area between head and tail ) There was some bleeding, only while constricting. I have learned form this very helpful community that she should be ok with minor treatment, just watch for infection. But none the less, i am very upset...How could this happen? It's not suppose to be this way!
Ok i just had to share, speaking of sharing does anyone have any simular stories of this nature to share. I think it would lessen my pain, maybe LuLu's too.
Thanks
Yes matter of fact i was feeding one of my girls just tonight and she was so exited she grabbed the rat in the midsection.Of course the rat did what its instinct told it to do BITE.Well since i was right their i grabed a screw driver that i have just incase incidents like this and made the rat stop trying to bite her.Of course it worked .Now if you notice some open flesh you can place some neosporin on that area a couple times a day.Use just enough to cover the area no more.Since it has antibiotics it will prevent infection from getting out of hand.I am not saying it will get infected just incase it does.If it start to bleed or leak alot for any reason get her to the vet ASAP.I am sending well wishes your way .Keep us posted
