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.
