[jennjenn]

when i got him out of his cage he didnt have it around his mouth at but when i started feeding him i noticed pink around his mouth so i pulled the syrringe out and noticed there is blood in his mouth...could he have bit his tongue? im sooooooo worried i know i prob bug you guys alot but please help!!!!

[jennjenn]

he does not seem to be in pain...only when he is sucking on his nipple he makes a whining noise and it bleeds a little i think i may be one of his teeth or his tongue

[lilidukes]

He is just teething no need to worry:grouphug

[Milo's Mom]

Teething, like Lilidukes said. It looks like a lot of blood, but it's really not that much. Some do it all the time and others never do it. Always freaks me out the first time or two I see it. Squirt will be fine. :thumbsup

[Nancy in New York]

Yup I agree with lilidukes, he is getting his teeth, and it's scary when you first see it. :eek

[pappy1264]

Don't be embarrassed (we all would have freaked out if we didn't know either!! And ALWAYS better to ask!) Yup, I can still remember a few years ago, this baby, Sebastian....oh dear lord, how he had any blood left with how much his mouth bled! I am talking a whole towel each feeding was covered!

[jennjenn]

[California Squirrel Lover]

Oh my gosh, teething! I've learned something new, I really don't think I knew that!! :Love_Icon:Love_Icon Squirt :Love_Icon:Love_Icon

[SammysMom]

Certainly wouldn't want to remove a good question that someone else might take comfort in. There are no stupid question, Silly! We have all worried about things that we now know are normal!:grin3

[jennjenn]

well i guess it could help someone out maybe someone else will read this before it happens to their baby and not be freaked out like me lol :grin2

I just had this happen to mine today and if someone on here hadn't told me it might happen soon, I would have been JUST LIKE YOU. So, please don't remove this thread. Maybe someone else see it BEFORE it happens to them. :grin2

I was just reading your thread in the nursery and saw that you too saw blood today. :grin2
Lots of teething little babies around!:)

My little Buttercup kept bleeding from her mouth every feeding. She would not be bleeding when she started, but the side of her face would be bloody each feeding. After investigating her, I found that she was scratching the side of her mouth with her claws, while she was attempting to kneed her momma's belly (granted, there is not momma, but there is a syringe). She would repeatedly rake her face with her claws until she cut her lip each time. Since then, we have made a momma's belly (felt with rice inside and a slit for the syringe to slip through) and it lets her kneed the belly while she eats. Since then, no more blood!
