Blood in Urine

[Phoenix24k]

Hi All! The squirrel we have been rehabbing since 9/5 has urine in her blood. She's very active and has been eating fine. She weighs ~275g. She's always been tiny. She ate half a block and peed normally, then walked away and peed a couple drops of blood. She was jumping around like normal, then she stopped and dripped another drop of blood and then went into her bed. Her urine has no smell.

What could be wrong? We're in central Florida. She eats diet of HHB and random veggies, with an occasional fruit or nut as a treat. The only recent change was that we gave her a little turnip green and kale. She still has some FV formula occasionally.

I do not have a local vet to take her to. Does this sound like a bladder infection? She drinks fresh water regularly.

Are there any homeopathic remedies for bladder infection? OTC meds for infection? Thanks for the help!

Thanks!

Has she been fed any acorns?
Unsure with Fla squirrels, could it be her estrous cycle?
A uti would require an anti biotic.

We haven't given her any acorns. She has been nibbling on branches from our oak tree. We also got her some chew toys that she has been using over the past few days. When do they usually get their first cycle? We think that she is approximately 12-13 weeks old. What antibiotics would she need if it is a UTI?

She is up and it appears that she is struggling to pee now. She peed a normal amount when she first woke up and it was pink. Now she is stopping every few minutes and appears to be trying to pee but it's only a drop or two and they are pink as well.

I would look for Baytril (animal med) or Cipro (Ciprofloxacin) - Human med.
(Woman are prescribed Cipro for yeast infections and often have the med handy)

Animal or human ab let us know what you can come up with, we can tell you if it
can be used and how to dose. We will need a weight on squirrel as all meds given
squirrels are dosed by the squirrel's body weight.

I will keep asking around. So far no luck... Thank you!

If we can't find anyone that has some available, is there something else we can do?
