with a UTI (bladder infection) she would be straining to pee and even crying out in pain....her pee would be very stinky, too. I don't believe you would see red pee...:dono

Make sure you've read up on proper diet for an indoor squirrel here on the board so your fuzzer stays happy and healthy!! They can develop serious problems living indoors without the right diet! :Welcome to TSB
