Blood on Hammock??!!


There was something on Cub's hammock tonight that looked like blood, but I don't know where it came from. She had no blood on her & was acting happy & normal, running around, grooming, eating, drinking & napping. I gave her a dust bath & there was no blood in the dust.........
I don't really know what to do.
I am guessing that the blood may be one of 2 things: a scratch from Hank that I didn't notice (it's a very small amount of blood, maybe a baby fingerprint's worth) or a vaginal discharge.

I don't think chins spot when in heat, BUT I could be wrong. I've never noticed anything on their toys, shelves, or fur. I have had small blood spots occassionally though. It is usually from one of their feet (or toes) getting a small scratch or sometimes, but rarely, it's from fighting. But you'd know if you had a fight.

Hope it's nothing serious.

Well she's acting 100% normal & there's no more blood, so maybe it was some sort of heat-related discharge? I am keeping a very close eye on her but right now I don't think it's worth the stress on either of us to visit the exotics vet.

It's probably just vaginal discharge. I notice it in the potty corners of my litter trays all the time. Don't worry about it.

Thanks for asking Diana. No Cub has been normal ever since the blood appeared, so I am pretty sure that kingsboro is right.
