Baby rat teeth problem

I have this baby which is so cute that I would either like to give away as a pet or maybe keep as a breeder although that may be a stretch
A couple of weeks ago my daughter snuck in my room and got into the cages and somehow broke its leg. She came in the room carrying it and I thought it was dead since it was limp apparently it had just passed out. so it was gettin better (so I had thought) and starting to be able to hold its self up better when I replaced the water bottle and she got her hand stuck between the plastic and the water bottle now her hand is all messed up. Then I noticed she wasnt growing and started to worry when I could see the bones in her tail I put her in a tank of her own so she wouldnt haveto battle for the food and yesterday I thought to look at her teeth. they were overgrown and starting to puncture her mouth so I took my scissors and cut them down. I checked today and it looks like there may be an infection there. Im tempted to try hydrogen peroxide since I think its non-toxic but of course Im out and figured Id check and see if anyone here has any better ideas aside from feeding her off.

here are a couple of pics of her....



Im not sure if I can cut the teeth any further but now they are growing in crooked. I feel so sorry for this gal that I would love to try and get her better any help or ideas would be wonderful at this point. PLease dont say the vet cause Im too broke and if it comes to that as much as I hate to do it Id rather feed her off since the bills keep piling in and there are other things higher on the priority list
