Answer
I'm sorry Linda but I don't answer rat questions as I don't know enough about them medically to do so. I would suggest that you take her in to see your vet or at least to the pet store where you got her so that they can see what you are talking about.

I can't even imagine what you are describing.

Most vets won't charge much to see a rat, but ask if they have seen them before so you get a vet that knows what they are looking at.

You could also post your question in the rodent or exotic pet section here in allexperts.com.

Please don't wait to get her into the vets. The sooner you do, the sooner this can be addressed.
