Why is my rat weak, hiding, and has reddish vaginal discharge?

Question

My rat was perfectly fine the night before but this morning I found her hiding in a pile of blankets in her cage and she seemed to be weakened, I flipped her over and noticed a tiny bit of reddish discharge from her vagina. I gave her some broccoli which she ate but I'm so worried about her, this happened overnight. Pet's info: Other | Unknown - Other | Female | unspayed | 1lb

Hello. So sorry to hear the Nemesis is having this issue. Likely she has a uterine infection which can be quite serious. My recommendation is to have her examined by a vet that is used to treating exotic animals/pocket pets. The other option is a bladder infection. Either way she needs to see a vet. It is not something you can treat at home. I hope this helps. Best wishes to you and Nemesis. Dr. Amber
