Dragging the foot like that it may be broken. It is clear you care very much and are doing your best, but a vet is the only option here

Hi, thanks so much for the advice. I live in Brazil, and unfortunately it is not one of the best countries to find veterinary quality for rodents. Canine and feline vets are usually very expensive and I can't afford it. In addition, there are practically no professionals who care for exotic animals such as rats. However, I got a "free" veterinarian appointment (wednesday) at a local pet shop. I'm not quite sure he will look/help Winnie, but we can't just lost our hope.
Some updates:
- Winnie has increased her appetite and looks like she's eating more soft kibble. About water, I can't say the same.
- She still doesn't feel any pain and is more docile, she goes by her name from time to time and accepts to be caressed.
- It's still in the toy house, but when it goes out for a walk it runs around the cage a lot.
- She opens her eye a little with mucus and looks much happier and more agitated.
- Unfortunately, the clubfoot did not improve.
Thank you so much, again. Goodbye!
