My gerbil gave birth 3 days ago and has a sore on the
bottom that is inflamed and bleeding. Looks like what
happens when you have chap lips and it cracks and
bleeds. Midnight is not sitting and feeding her babys.
Does anyone know what topical anibiotic I can put on
her? Also if she is not feeding the pups is there
anyway to give them food and what can I feed them?
Powdered milk?
