Hey, guys!
My pet rat, Kimby is about a year old, but she is starting to get bloody spots on her shoulders and once she got one behind her ears. I think she causes them when she scratches, but the spots are starting to appear just now. I'm worried about her! Someone please help! Should I take her to the vet, should I leave her alone, or should I find a medication method I can manage myself?

I had a rat of my own a long time ago that had the same problem. If there's another rat in the same cage then they may be fighting. If not it's just caused by itching. I would keep an eye on her but it's really nothing to worry about. If it's from itching. If there's another rat in the cage then separate them in different cages but if not it's really nothing to worry about. The only time it's gonna be something to worry about is if the sores get to big
THANK YOU!!! I have been waiting forever for an answer. I was wondering if it was itching. I asked a woman at ,y favorite store (the one where I bought Kimby) what it was. She said it was most likely itching and that it is mites. But I checked her and didn't find any of the parasites. Just dandruff. I think she either has dry or just plain sensitive skin. Thanks for your advice!
