My rat has vaginal discharge. Are the antibiotics I have effective?

Question

My 14 month/almost 15 month old rat is experiencing vaginal discharge after going through a constipation spell. The discharge was originally brownish, we fed her pumpkin and cranberry juice for the constipation and possible UTI, and it is now orangey. She is not in any pain and is acting like herself. She was just at the vet Thursday night and was deemed to be fine. I have ordered medications to have on hand from a bird biotic website. They’re amoxicillin, baytril, and doxycycline. Will it help?

Thanks for reaching out about Cupid and including photos. Vaginal bleeding could be a urinary tract infection or due to a bladder stone. Another possibility is uterine disease, either cancer or endometriosis. Antibiotics will only possibly help with a urinary tract infection. If the bleeding continues, an abdominal ultrasound would probably give you the best answer, but suspect she needs to be spayed. Good luck.
