I have an 11 months old whom had a good 2 inches of her tail degloved last night. I cannot get her to a vet for a few reasons. Financial and weather being biggest 2. I am doing everything possible for her including going out and picking up a "hospital" cage (20-25 gal tank with screen lid $25). She does not have shavings in her cage, I am using old clothes of my kids that I was going to donate and I am changing them every time I notice they are starting to get dirty. I have some flour in there for the bleeding as it is still bleeding mildly. I am giving her a dot or 2 of children's motrin every 6 to 8 hours. She doesn't seem to be in pain unless she steps on her tail. She has fresh water every few hours, a dish of milk, some corn chowder, and her regular food. She is being more spoiled than she usually is.
Has anyone else experienced this severe of a degloving? How did it turn out and what did you find made your ratties most comfy during the healing process?
