pet rat bleeding
Hi,I've just found this site and would like to try some natural rememdies for our pet rat who is bleeding from her vagina.
I called the local vet, but she doesn't know much about rats, and even a visit to see her could prove to be unhelpful, other than antibiotics...
She has been bleeding for about five days, but otherwise she seemed normal. Last night she seemed lethargic, but wanted to eat and drink.
This morning she stayed down in her litter, with eyes closed a lot, and didn't want to come up. Now she is up, and wanted to eat.
After reading this forum's past posts, I gave her some mashed banana with flax seed oil, and some acidolophilus mixed in which she liked.
I have been concerned about the rats (we have 2 females together in one cage who are about 1 1/2 years old) diet for a while, since they didn't seem to like any of the commercial rat pellets we bought, so lately I have been giving them dog biscuits, and whole wheat uncooked pasta so they have something hard to gnaw on. We also give them a seed mix, fresh lettuce and brocolli every day, and a self feeding water container.
I have searched the internet and see that the rat may have a urinary tract infection, or a tumor. I haven't tried feeling around on her abdomen yet. Can anyone make any suggestions to help?? I would be willing to try homeopathy if anyone knows what I should use.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
If she has blood in her urine then it is something urinary. If she is bleeding from her vagina then it could be something reproductive.
Please search again for a vet to see your rat. Too many remedies to choose from and you need a diagnosis as well. There are regular vets who sometimes know a thing or two about rats/mice.
for now if she is weak and still bleeding try China 6C or 30C. Dilute two pellets in 4oz of water and with a dropper drop several drops into her mouth. Dose every few hours until better.

Thank you to you both for your replies!
We have hooded rats. no litters, always away from males. We've had them since they were weaned from their mother.
We give them filtered tap water (Brita), and organic veggies. The dog biscuits were purchased through a health food store and the brand is Healthy Habit. The ingredients are Wheat flour, chicken, oat flakes, ground rice, chicken fat (preserved with Mixed Tocopherols, Citric Acid and Rosemary Extract), Brewers yeast, and Garlic Powder.

It's hard to tell if the blood is coming from the urine, but I don't think so because there always seems to be blood there at her vagina.
ratmama last decade
will see patches/spots/traces of blood on litter in 'waste' spot of cage...if from urinary tract ----if cystic --fibroid in uterine area--then looking at phos or conium
what color blood?quantity?consistent?daily?

from what I can tell now with the research I have been doing, our rat probably has uterine bleeding. The blood is always red, and there always seems to be a drop of blood at her vulva. There is a little spot of blood left behind where ever she rests. poor thing... It has been recommended that I give her two types of antibiotics...

uterine bleeding---
disolve phosphorous 30c in 20 tablespoons of water stir vigourously and adminster (use eye dropper) 1 drop into mouth---no repetition at all..
diet must be adjusted---seen calcium -phosphorous diet ratio unbalanced --need include --dandilion greens;mustard greens;bok choy; some kale.. (NO broccoli;collard greens;NO lettuce (escorale ok though))
sodium processed foods (dog biscuit) must be eliminated (low sodium ok)---
keep me informed

Hi John,
Thanks for the suggestions. could you tell me why you suggest no brocolli or lettuce? Is the phosphorous a homeopathic remedy one would buy in pellets? I am going to gather some dandelion from our garden now.

broccoli;lettuce; ....contain oxalic acid---inhibit calcium absorbtion--mustard greens are debatable--even though suggested --best not use at this time---use tender young leaves dandilion...
also no more citric acid supplenment
pellets phosphorous---

homoeopathic remedy---pellets/tablets phosphorous 30c
♡ John Stanton last decade
Do you think that the homeopathic Phosphorous remedy will cure the bleeding on it's own, without antibiotics? If so, how long do you think it might take?
I'm not sure what you mean by "no more citric acid supplement". Could you please explain.
What other foods do you suggest besides the green veggies? How about banana, and flax seed oil? They don't seem to like the commercial rat pellets, so I've never known quite what to feed them. I give them a complete diet seed mix for hamsters and gerbils.

phos-is intended to help heal without antibiotic use--this is my suggestion as is dietary requirements....BUT you need make decision...
bananna ;flax seed are ok
citric acid is referenc eto ""healthy habit"
recommended is whole foods--least altercations and processing...for grains can use (GrainShop - Organic---made by barbera's workshop)---or similar

Hello,
Good news! Our pet rat has stopped bleeding. As I searched for the homeopathic remedy, vet who knew about rats, the rat lady, and antibiotics... I changed the diet. Now the pet is no longer bleeding, and seems as good as ever. Amazing what a change in diet can do. Thanks so much for your help!! No remedies were given.

So glad your buddy is doing so well.
What changes did you make?
Same goes for humans. A small change in diet goes a long way to feeling better and improving our health as well.

I had planned to try a homeopathic remedy before the antibiotics. I was not able to get either of the above, easily, locally ( we live in a small community), so as I researched, I changed the rats diet. I followed the recipe on "the rat lady's" website, as much as I could for now, with what I had on hand (which included a LOT of the recipe). I stopped all lettuce, and brocolli, dog biscuits, (per recommendations on ABChomeopathy site), and raw WW pasta. I gave the rat diet recipe (modified as already noted), along with some organic banana and acidolphilus mixed together (2 days) with some flax seed oil (2 days), and some goat milk, and some fresh dandelion leaves from the yard (no pesticides), carrot, and apple (organic).
ratmama last decade
The acidolphilus alone might have cured your rat. It saved my life many years ago.
I also have given acidophilus to my dog before I knew about homeopathy because the anti biotic were making her terribly sick.
I was on a very strict and pure diet for about 5 years, and I was still very sick until I read this book and treated myself with the information in it which includes lots of acidophilus in capsule form:
"The Yeast Syndrome" by Dr. Trowbridge. You can get a used copy of it at amazon.com or half.com very cheap. Again, I would be dead by now if it weren't for this book.
Since curing my own self (of Candida)by reading this book, I have learned that even my eye doctor knows about Candida but never told me because he preferred to keep me as a patient on a permanent basis. I never went back to him after that.
Again, I am so very happy that you could help your own self to help your rat. ISN'T IT GREAT TO HAVE THE INTERNET TO HELP US?
Keep learning about homeopathy. It also has contributed significantly to my life and my dog's life. Homeopathy works within minutes and creates cures after only one use. And it is cheap. You can order online through various companies and get the remedies within a day or two.
You will be amazed at the results you will see in your rat after only ONE drop of homeopathy.

The book does an excellent job of explaining how acidophilus works.
It is important that you take some yourself.
My brother used to give it to his racing pegeons as well but never understood the importance of taking it himself,

Hello ratmama
The Yeast Syndrome goes into depth on what Candida is and how to treat it.
It is a disease that imitates a lot of different diseases in EVERY biological system, i.e. digestive system, muscular system, psychological system, dermotology system, reproductive system, endocrine system, circulatory system, audiology system, optical system, etc.
In my case, my optomologist, diagnosed my eyes as having astagmitism.
After reading the Yeast Syndrome and talking to the woman at the health food store, I cured myself of not only astagmitsm but other health problems I was having with ALL of my bilogical systems.
So when I went to see my optomologist for another COMPLETE eye examination, I no longer had astagmitism.
Astagmitism, is the process by which our two separate eyes turn two images into one.
I understand that homeopathy also has remedies for curing Candida but it is important to read the Yeast Syndrome and have a clear undersanding of the disease because we cannot completely rely on anyone thing to cure us.

John,
The phosphorus just came in, but they brought in 6 ch instead of of 30ch. Does this make a difference? Also, now that she has stopped bleeding should I even bother to give it to her? She seems completely better! Thanks for your help.

Ratmama,
I was wondering if you could help me out? I have 2 female pet rats and would like to give them acidolphilus as its seems to have many benefits.
Is it something they can take daily/weekly even if they're healthy or is it just used if they're sick?
Could you also tell me what dosage you give your rat? Mine are only 10weeks old.
