However, I doubt that that is his problem.He probably got into a fight with another rat, which could get infected. What I've found that works (and trust me, I have used it too many times to count) is this:1. Get some gauze or a folded up tissue.2. Get some surgical tape or masking tape.3. Apply manuka honey (or any type of honey will do) onto the wound. He certainly won't like it, but the honey works better than many anti-bacterials (I use it on my own infected wounds).4. Put the gauze/tissue over the wound and secure it with tape.It should work!!</blockquote>
