I posted about a month ago about one of my boys, Obi, who I thought had a degloved tail at the time. Apparently it was a “nail tail” but since then I think he really degloved it!
(Sorry for the flashy photo, it’s hard to get him to sit still- plus it’s the middle of the night!)
It’s red, so I cleaned it with saline water. I think it must have just happened today since I’m *pretty* sure it wasn’t degloved yesterday!
Anyway, do I need to go see the vet? Or can I administer home treatment? It’s currently 1am in the morning here in the U.K. and I can go out to buy some ointment in the morning if needed. However which U.K. ointment would be rat-safe?
I don’t think I need ibuprofen since he isn’t bothered by it, I’m pretty sure he hasn’t even noticed I have human amoxicillin at home if that’s important?
I’m just here stressing and worrying! Will he be okay? What should I do!?
