My rat has a swollon bum hole what could this be?

Question

its a female rat and has been like this for a few days now

Answer 1

Prolapse perhaps? Vet now.

Answer 2

Hard to say. I'm sure it's quite uncomfortable for her, and may be preventing/complicating basic actions such as urinating and/or defecating.

Sounds like she needs medical attention. Have a local vet that deals with rats? If so, make an appointment ASAP.

Answer 3

Has she been having regular bowl movements? Are you sure it's her a**s and not her v****a? It could be a prolapse. Either way, she needs to see a small animal vet pronto. Leaving her like this for a couple of days was very irresponsible  of you.

Answer 4

Are you sure it's her butt and not her v****a?? She could be in heat. You should ask your vet.
