Well I was at work this morning and people were screaming so I ran over to see what in the world was going on. They were all standing around the coke machine saying there was a rat in there. i peek down to look and the poor little thing has his head stuck in a hole. I mean STUCK! He was laying on his back upside down and couldn't get his little head out. So i asked this guy to get a board where we could prop the machine up so I could see him. The little guys head was swollen like a golf ball. He was crying and i felt so bad for him ( I'm not a rat lover but I couldn't help it) I get some rags and start pulling the skin tight on the back of his head to push him back through. That wasn't working so I got some greasy antibiotic ointment out of the first aide kit and put it all around his neck. I pulled the skin gently until his little ears stuck out of the hole and then finally he came out!! His little head was so swollen but he jumped out and ran off. So I just had to share!!!

That was so sweet of you... You know, most people would have run off screaming "RATS! RATS! AUGGHH!!". I'm glad you didn't do that even if you aren't a rat lover. I am a rat lover and as a rat lover, I am so happy and proud that you did that for the little critter. You made my day!



Be kind to any animal!

Sweet. I think that's great! I love rats myself... If you wait and clean his neck his swelling should go down. Try not to handle him too much, and with luck you can release the little sweetheart!
