just got poor Brenna's tail (tip) caught in the cage door as I was closing it, do I ice it?
skin isn't broken but it looks limp

How is she acting? Is she grabbing her tail and licking it, or is she squeaking everytime it touches something?
 
she squealed when it happened but they just got a treat so she went back to that......
lemme check, brb



oh whew, she's able to move it, it was just hanging limp right after

it's warm and movnig normally, whew

ok for future reference do you ice a rat's injury?

I haven't yet. For any pain or swelling I just give ibu or metacam if its that bad.

Glad to hear it was just a pinch.
