Help! Swollen toe/foot!!! With pics!

[xenrielle]

I today I noticed Kahlua was not really running around a lot today like normal, she was hiding in her box. So I took her out for a cuddle, and noticed her back right foot/toe is all swollen! I'm 90% sure it wasn't there yesterday, but I could be wrong... What can I do! I am really worried, having worst case scenarios running through my mind, like death or amputation. (I'm a major worrywart...) HELP! Please!

As the pics show, it's mainly her inside toe, going along the length of her foot. My poor baby!

Looks like a sprain, where the toe got caught. Cold compresses and heat. http://ratguide.com/health/musculoskele ... prains.php :hugs:

That's a little ****oo. I usually don't do anything for those... They heal real fast.

Ditto, I think it looks like a sprain. She should be OK in a few days. Just watch it and make sure it's improving every day.

REALLY!!!!! *dies* You have made my night. lol. I have been stressing, thinking what could have happened. I think what happened is she probably got her toe caught on her bed thing, it's made of mesh... I'm gonna keep an eye on it, but that makes me feel %1,000,000,000 times better. :bow:

Keep an eye out for swelling, and if it gets too bad you will need to try to reduce the swelling.
But as Jorats said, it should be fine
