I have 2 small gerbils from the same litter, about 1 month old, they are without a mother, Bonny and Joey. I went to check up on them and found Bonny in here wooden house, and it looked like she had difficulties walking. It looked like her front paw and back paw was injured. Then i noticed that the water bottle was on the cage floor. I think thats it might have fell on Bonny. Also, the right eye is shut. PLEASE help me!! What should I do?’

If there are breaks in the skin over the feet, clean gently with hydrogen peroxide and apply neosporin ointment (both are available at a drug store). Apply warm compresses to the eye and flush the eye with boric acid solution (also available at a drug store). If Bonny is not eating or drinking you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
