Answer 1

If you're really worried I would say try to flush out her eyes with a bit of warm water,alwayss avoid the ears take a washcoth to the rat's face too. t really shouldn't be a problem but if anything changes and she starts acting really weird then maybe be a good time toask a vert about it,

Answer 2

Dry her really well and make sure she is not in a draft.  I washed my rats with water and a very tiny amount of kitten/puppy shampoo.  Use warm water.  Be quick, they never seem to like it.  Always dry well.

Never, never use wood litter of any kind, use Carefresh paper litter or something like it.  Wood litter has natural oils that give Rats respiratory infections.

Answer 3

Try to take a small clloth like one you use for babies since there thin i would wash the rats facea little with it but there are lots of things that could make a rat sick you know like this food: anything citrus food,house plant leaves or onions those foods can make a rat or a ham sick

Answer 5

If she seems to be fine, she more than likely is. I'm sure a rat would let you know if you had gotton soapy water in her eyes.
