I left on a vacation for a week and my red-tail boa who has never had a problem eating live prey was attacked by a small rat that my girlfriend gave her. She said she gave my red tail the rat 2 days ago, and now that I have returned, parts of the skin are missing =(

I put some jojoba tree oil on her wounds, this has helped with minor bites, but im still worried.... he head had a small bit and her poor tail is down to what looks like the bone at the tip =(

I cant get her to a vet until wednesday, cause thats when they open... anyone have any help they could give?
