Rats eye is sunken and keeps fighting with other rats

[Spicegirlsrats]

My rat, sugar, is super fat. I started feeding everyone less and suddenly she is getting a lot of injuries. I tried free roaming the rats more often, but i never see them fight. I fed them more I thought the fighting was getting better as she didn’t have any newer scratches, but now her bottom eyelid is swollen and her eye is sunken in. I dont really know how to fix the fighting and I don’t know if i can really afford the vet because my car recently broke. Does anyone have advice? I dont know how to put in images but she is an albino rat so its hard to tell if her eye is red.

if they injure each other you cannot let them remain together. feed her seperately. if her eye is sunken in and swollen, there might be an infection there which you most likely would need antibiotics for.
