My pet rat has red sores

Question

my pet rat has fly bites arourd her neck and when she scratches them she falls over on her side. i have been trying to stop her from scratching when i hold her but she cant stop...shoud i put polysporn on her? what shoud i do?

Answer 1

DON'T put Polysporin on her, if she bites it she will be poisoned. I would suggest to see a vet and see what you can do about the bites.

Answer 2

Could be ringworm.  See a vet

Answer 3

It could be a number of things causing this - rough fighting with a cagemate, ringworm, too much protein etc.

Best thing to do would be see a vet as its impossible to diagnose and treat over the internet.

Hope all goes well.
