In Reply to: BLOODY URINE! HELP! posted by laurenk on April 13, 2003 at 01:53:05:

I'm no expert on bloody urine in a rat, but I know it happens to all animals (including people) sometimes for a variety of reasons that aren't too serious, so if she seems okay and she's been to the vet hopefully whatever she has will just run its course. Good luck!

:Hi everyone,
:Today I put my rat Bandit in her exercise ball and she had bloody urine. I looked in her cage and some of the bedding was bloody too. I took her to the vet and vet said that nothing appeared to be wrong. The vet thinks that perhaps Bandit had an adverse reaction to vibramycin (for mycoplasm) or she fell in her cage and suffered internal injury. Bandit seems absolutely fine. She is as hyper as ever. The vet said that Bandit should just take it easy and not take vibramycin anymore. Any ideas of what this could be?
