To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com
Last question for now, I hope. This morning I noticed dried, seemingly diluted blood
tracked around on the bathroom floor. It looked like maybe some time after I showered
and went to bed, someone had cut a paw and tracked around through the water on the
wet floor. Or, I trimmed a few nails last night and maybe I got too close on one and didn't
notice it. It was much less blood than a pulled out nail and, as I said, looked diluted. I
checked all pads and nails and wasn't surprised not to find anything as they heal up
quickly. Everybody was running around and happy, so I decided to keep an eye open and
not worry. When I got home from work I saw that there was a splat of similarly diluted
blood (from the original stuff I saw this morning) on the newspaper they poo on. Don't
know who it was, whether it was pee or poo, and I didn't find a repeat on any newspaper
or in any litter box. This time, I checked all the butts and genitalia as well. One had a spot
of dark stuff on his bottom that *could* have been blood. But it also could have been scat.
What should I make of this, since there hasn't been a repeat and everyone is behaving
normally?
