Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / June 2008Well, dang it bertha!
Some how she went and degloved the last third of her tail. No vet available until tomorrow. This is going to be ugly as Bertha is still traumatized, defensive and VERY aggressive. -- Keith oweeeeee! What do vets do for degloving? Could you get her a Comfort Wheel to run in? (referring to your earlier post) -Marlo > Some how she went and degloved the last third of her tail.

When you live in outback montana you can't always get 24hr vet care for small pets. She really is a sweetie once out of her cage. Inside her cage? ALPHA girl and you wont keep you body parts attached. -- Keith Well, good luck Bertha. Tell us how she fares. >> oweeeeee!

She and I were playing on the floor and she decided to dart for under the sofa. I grabbed for her and got noting but tail. Oh MAN did I feel so awful. I degloved at least half. Well, we did not get to the Vet and things oddly healed up nicely. Of course the tail did not grow back, but that wicked bit that stayed behind looked MEAN! Good luck with your little one!

Degloving also happens to dogs tails and cat tails usually when the silly kitty get under the hood a car. <eww> -- Keith On Jun 7, 2:19 pm, "The Rat Lord" <ratl...@yahoo.com> wrote: > i'm assuming that "degloved" means that the skin was ripped off of the > bone???
