Found a pet rat a couple of weeks ago. A couple of days later her right eye looked bulgy. Chalked it off to normal bugging from teeth grinding. It kept getting bigger until it finally looked like cyclops. It also developed a cloudy bubble. I finally scrounged up enough money to take her to the vet. Not anticipating taking care of a rat, I wasn’t financially prepared for it but couldn’t not rescue it. Vet said it looked like she had some trauma to the eye, probably while she was out in the wild and gave her antibiotics. She said there was a 50/50 chance of her losing her eye. A couple of days later it started looking much better. It looked like the cloudy bubble had popped and there was skin lose from it. Eye continually looks so much better except for that small piece of skin that won’t turn loose. It’s gotten smaller but still there. I keep thinking it will just fall off. Anybody have a similar experience?
