gerbils?
1. Bleeding discharge from cycle
2. Bleeding from an overzealous male breeding her.
3. Bleeding because of delivery imminent or just happened.
(whether or not you find/found pups. If there was a problem
she might have destroyed it before you find it)
4. Bleeding from miscarry.
5. Bleeding because of cysts, tumor, pylometria (infected
uterus).
If there's a lot of blood that's bright red, and she's not with
a male nor has been within the past six weeks, she needs
to go the the vet right away.
If it's just a little, it could be as minor as 1 or 2.
What are her cagemate(s) and is there any possibility she
could be carrying?
Or just delivered?
Has she just suddenly gotten slimmer?
Let us know.
