Hi everyone! I am posting today on behalf of my 1.5 year old blue female dumbo affectionately named Pod. On Sunday I noticed she was bleeding (a tiny!! bit) through her ******l opening. Bright red blood that was barely leaving her opening & I only noticed it because I was tickling her while she was on her back. I immediately made a vet appointment & had her seen the next day. At the appointment she was no longer bleeding & the vet said she looked good & was in tip top shape and did not want to put her on meds. I said fine (also I started crying in the appointment because she mentioned their short lifespans which I am painfully aware of as I just lost my sweet rat Maisy in July) & went home. But now Pod is bleeding again, still only a small bit, but I’m clearly freaked out. She’s had Myco flare ups in the past but never a genital infection. Anyone experience this light bleeding before? What should I do?
I feel that sometimes when I try to advocate for my rats I almost do it too early. While I see that something is wrong, let it be bleeding or sneezing flare ups at home, while at the vet the vet sees no problem. It’s frustrating because I worry in a week she will be sicker when she could have gotten treated on Monday. I’m at a loss.
