Mrs Dingle's been here 2 weeks

These pictures were taken last night. I took away the kitty litter this morning to see if that might be hurting the infection. And the sores do seem drier tonight. I don't know what else to do, really. I'm thinking now that maybe she had no immune system because she was so emaciated when I got her so she had nothing to fight the sores with and giving her the ivermectin was a mistake because it's so toxic that it just bowled her over. I should have just dealt with her nutritionally like I would've if she was a dog. So I think maybe that's what I'll do now - treat her like I would if she was a dog and not like she's some exotic alien that I know nothing about. Because if I don't do something I'm pretty sure she's going to die soon. And I'd really prefer that not happen.

    Call the vet - he'll give you a phone consultation, and maybe it is serious enough to merit another visit. If you didn't overdose the ivermectin, it shouldn't be the culprit - but it'll only treat worms, fleas, lice, and mites, not fungal infections (if that's possible, and it probably is).

    A rat can overdose on Vitamin E, but there are chewable 200 IU tablets by Jamieson. You can chop one up and give her a bit; it can't hurt. It'll stimulate her appetite, too. Lots of good, healthy people food, as well as oatmeal and lab blocks.
