Hurt my rat's tail! Help!

[Saturnsdeath]

I was putting my rat Rosaline back in her cage after some play time and I don't quite know what happened, but I think I knicked her tail when closing it. I feel so bad and I need to know if I should take her to the vet or just try and aid it at home.

That's ouchy but looks minor. If she's in pain you can give infant ibuprofen but you should be able to handle this from home. It looks like her scales were scraped off her tail?

She doesn't seem to be in pain. She's running around and being herself. I just don't want her to be mad at me and for her to make it worse.

She should be just fine
