I don't know anything about Sammy's testing, but if a male I would
definitely look into adrenal disease. A friend of mine
went through bloody urine, recurrent urinary problems on her
ferret being told probably crystals, etc. Just found out
after surgery, it was a big right adrenal tumor causing
cyst on the pancreas.
You never know, but recurrent urine infections means something
is wrong.
For the bloody urine, my Rascal had bloody urine, after further
inspection brusing on his gums and body, his platelets were
so low he started to bleed.
Either way, infection or bleeding problem, a quick vet visit
is needed.

Kelly...it sounds like a uti infection to me. My sammy gets them quite often. I
would take her in to be seen by a vet but if she is still eating and drinking and
somewhat herselg I do no think that it is anything life threatening. She may
have had this uti for a while and not noticing it until the blood.It also could be a
bladder infection. Please let me know what the tests show. My thoughts and
prayers are with you at this time.
Monique and Sammy
