Eye Problem

We just got a femle rat Miley. She keeps one of her eyes closed a lot. There is no sore or discharge or anything visible. Should we be concerned?

Answer #1

I wonder if she could have a scratched cornea…they don’t necessarily “weep” gunk or even tears…but are very irritating, and sensitive to light…The Vet will give you either drops of ointment to put into her eye, to help it heal, and to keep bacteria at bay.
