MY GERBLE IS DYING

Question
I have had two gerbles, Peanut and Butter. They are sisters and have always been together. But sometimes they have an occasional fight, which involves a bit of blood. They are about 3 1/2 years old. Butter is always the winner of the fight and Peanut is mildly hurt. But just now, Butter REALLY attacked Peanut and I gave Peanut some time but she won't open her eyes, she doesn't walk much, her tail is bloody and might fall off, half her back is really bad and bloody, and finally it lookes like two toes might fall off. WHAT DO I DO! HEELP!!!!!!!!! PLEASE THANKS

Answer
HI Carrie

Sorry to read about Peanut and Butter.

You need to get Peanut to a vet urgently as these are very serious injuries and she is probably in shock and in a lot of pain.  Your vet will advise you if she can be saved - they may recommend euthanasia. Peanut will also be dehydrated and will need pain relief, antibiotics and rehydrating.  Assuming Peanut survives you will not be able to put her back in the same cage as Butter, otherwise Butter will attack her again, especially now she is so weak.  Therefore you will need to make other arrangements for housing her.

Hope you get on OK.
