my rats eye

Question
i noticed my rat's eyes was almost completely swollen shut today. i've noticed problems with her eyes in the past, but they've mostly come and gone. what do you think?

Answer
Hello Sarah,

it sounds like he has a serious eye infection. Typically terramyacin is good for eye infections but my best advice is to see a vet and get treatment for his eye problem as there could be something else going on since hehas had previous problems with his closing.
