My rat had a golf ball sized tumor removed this week (this was his second tumor removal surgery). He is not doing well. The first night he was wheezing and mouth breathing and for some reason both of his top teeth fell out and he is salivating.
I noticed a penis prolapse today and am sure it is from the post op swelling. Through reading it has been advised to:
- use warm compresses
- use cold compresses
- apply a lubricant such as oilve (which I do have) oil or KY Jelly (which I don't have)
- administer ibuprofen to reduce swelling
- apply a cortisone cream on the penis area
My rat is doing horribly and is eating mashed food like an old man. He is 25 months old and has been on bupenorphine and amoxicillin since Tuesday (today is Friday).
My rat just looks...bleh. Which of the above information regarding penis prolapse is correct? I'd like to get his weeny in where it belongs and not have him suffer more than he is.
