Thank you for posting the picture. It is quite swollen with an area in the center that appears to be a wound. I am concerned that this could be an abscess and is likely to get worse. Often times this causes a fever and is painful. Abscesses often need to be drained and patients require antibiotics to resolve. As far as eating rats the only way to prevent him from hunting would be to keep him indoors. Best of luck and I hope he improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
