All I can suggest is clean up the injured rat, see if his nose is obstructed, and keep him/her desperate from the other

If you can drop the bleeding as his/her nose is cleared, he/she should be alright until you can get a hold of the vets

Hope that helps

styptic pencil and direct pressure?

No! While a good disinfectant, alcohol is a blood thinner and would hinder necessary clotting.

Aren't there blood stopping powder you can get at the nearest drugstore?

Flour works best if you dont have specific Blood clotting Powder

Calm down, take a deep breath.

Rats are pretty darn hardy, you'd be surprised what kind of injuries they can live through. The most important thing to do is stop his bleeding and keep him seperated. There are some really good tips here for stopping the bleeding, I personally would recommend the flour or pressure. Make sure to carefully dab at his nose with a warm washcloth first though to try and clean it. Do not run water over it, he may already have trouble breathing. Keep him in a smaller enclsoure and trying to keep him from moving around too much, but make sure he has access to water and some food that is easy to eat - maybe try making a mash out of warm water and pellets.

Thank you.

I tried dabbing it down with a warm wash cloth and then flour, but that didn't stop it. He seems like he'll be fine until 5. :)

Okay. :3 Keeping the two of you in my prayers <3

Is he fine now?

Ouch. I hope ratty's doing ok today. :|
