I had my rats out while I was at my desk focusing on work, one of them (his name is tuna) knocked over a case of buttons I have and fell off with it. My boys are sturdy and big so at first it was no biggie, but rolling back on my chair I accidentally went over one of his feet. It started bleeding and he won't use it, I believe one of the fingers isn't being used at all but I don't know about the rest of the foot. I'm pretty nervous and not sure what to do, seeing a vet is out of the question since I live with my parents and am working on getting a job but don't have my own money as of right now, and they don't just have the money to drop on a whole veterinarian appointment for a rat. Can I get some advice on what to do?

It probably hurts but hopefully is just torn and bruised. If you have meloxicam (ideal) or infant liquid ibuprofen you can give him some for pain and swelling.
