Three rats at a Humane Society in Milwaukee and a bunch of other furries including hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, mice and bunnies. I believe this is a no...
Yesterday was gloomy, cool and rainy. A perfect chili day. So I made a pot of chili and some cornbread. I don't like cornbread but my family does.....ALL...
Hi, dolls. My rat Fave has had a tumor on his side for a few months: it's in between the skin and the rib cage: not big and not distressing to him and furred...
THANK YOU Harold -- now I know what to make for dinner! LOL!! When I first got rats, they were shy and wouldn't come out from hiding. Cornbread is what did...
OH MY!! It is a HUGE treat in our house. All 15 of my ratties live for corn bread season. They will practically fall off their houses just to get a bite when...
Now I'm no expert by far but I was told that using peroxide on a rat was a big no no. There skin is to sensitive for it. Can someone back me up on this and...
You are correct. However... People want to make it sound as if using peroxide is like pouring acid on someone. Peroxide has been used to clean out wounds for...

I was actually wondering about that... Does a rat ALWAYS need antibiotics if he has an abscess? My understanding is that an abscess is encapsulated, that the...
Hi, There seems to be confusion about using peroxide. I have used it to clean scratches an small bites on my nakkies as soon as I see them. If it is...
You're right, Harold. Peroxide is actually damaging to healthy tissue
around a wound, which you can tell because the tissue becomes white and
blanched. Deb ...
What's nice about using Chlorhexadine as your wound rinse is that it has a
residual disinfecting effect on the wound that lasts about three days. That
s why...
Not all antibiotics can penetrate the acidic environment of an abscess and
are ineffective against it. Amoxicillin and TMZ are good antibiotics for
abscesses....
By the way...a safe dilution of Chlorhexadine 2% concentration to use in
rinsing wounds would be 1:40 (1 part chlorhexadine to 40 parts water). If
you use...
Hehe... It's not really all that bad... Since they were in the 'fridge, they were kind of in stasis. The cold slows them down, like a reptile. So they weren't...
I see others have posted, so I won't cover the abscess possibilities, but have you considered that it might be ringworm? Do you have a black light handy? ...
Hi, The white skin isn't hurt, I don't think. Peroxide is an oxidizer/germ killer. I think the action is to clean the wound by oxidizing the skin/tissue...
