Rats have PMS?

[SandraM]

I'm finding conflicting information on line. Both of my females have had bloody urination at various times and I assumed it was PMS. My neighbor asked about their cycle and I didn't know so I went to Google. What I found says that if they are bleeding they need to go to the vet. True???

I would take them both to be checked out. Could be a number of things from vaginal myco flare, to a tumor, or prolapsed uterus...I think there may be a couple more things as well. But rats don't have periods. Here's a good place to look at health info, and may be able to give you some more information. Www.ratguide.com
