my rat has a swollen eye. it’s not like how other people have described theirs before though, with boogers around or tears. it’s completely swelled up and twice the size of his other eye. there is pus in the middle of it. i know that he has mites but not sure if this has to do with that. help if you can!

That is an eye about to rupture. Have you given any Metacam, infant ibuprofen?? It's probably too late to save the eye if it wasn't punctured or he has glaucoma. Can you get him to a vet?
