My girlfriend just had our chin Lily out for some attention and suddenly had a smear of blood on her arm. We took at look at Lily and she had significant amount of blood coming from either her rectum or her vaginal opening. We immediately put the chin in a carry cage and my girlfriend left for the emergency vet.
What could this be? A quick search of the forum for this kind of bleeding hasn't shown any results; I'm not sure if I'm using correct terminology or search terms.
If you know of anything that could cause a chinchilla to bleed from its rectum or vaginal opening, please respond ASAP!
I called the emergency vet to tell them what to expect, and they told me that the doctor on duty doesn't see chinchillas... I've taken my chins there before, but I guess the specific doc on duty is useless. My girlfriend is now heading to our regular vet office because one of the docs there is kind enough to meet us after hours.
