Why did my rat stop using her tail??

I have a 1 year old rat. She degloved about 2 inches of her tail last month. I let it heal naturally taking precausion and cleaning her and the cage regulary. She has been fine until recently. She has completely stopped using her tail causing her to be very clumsy, doesnt climb, and has trouble getting in and out of her cage. Whats wrong? Why has she stopped using her tail? Thank You

Answer #1

The function of her tail might have been destroyed, I have 9 rats and someone on here suggested this forum for me when it comes to rat care and it’s really helped me, you should check it out: http://www.goosemoose.com/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,118/forum,rat
