Pumpkin is havnig some issues...

Postby ekucbbw » Mon Jul 19, 2010 7:47 pm

Can anyone help me with some sort of home remedies with this? If there is any.

Pumpkin is a little stressed I think. She's got some sores and I think small patches of hair loss where the sores are. I just found a tumor on her but before the tumor surfaced she already had these sores. I am pretty sure Angel isn't beating up on her. They get along very well and aside from the tumor, which is very small in comparison to the one Tatty had when she first got a tumor. I'm not that worried about it really but I'll be taking her in to the vet for a check up soon. I have to save up money for it first.

But until then can anyone help me with this? I know she has company and her and Angel have never had any problems before so that's part of the reasno why I don't think it's Angel. I think it's stress related but I'm not too sure what could be causing it. I've never had this problem before with any of my rats EVER. This is the first time "I've ever encountered this but I know my best friend when she lost one of her rats the other one had presented with this same issue so I can't figure it out!
