"Call your vet" with lots of exclamation points behind it, does not really answer the original question... Of course you should call your vet (if you can and have the money). Most folks turn to the net for answers either in lieu of expensive vet procedures or because they want to try to "treat" their critter themselves because they believe that most animal treatments can be performed with relative success and minimal cost. That being said, you have to approach a given situation from a logical perspective. You need to identify from where the blood is coming, the amount of flow, and if there may have been any associated trauma (mate fights, etc) to cause it. Once you have ruled out any obvious reasons for the bleeding, and assuming the blood loss is not so much to create a critical situation, then you can move to possible treatments. A visit to the vet may, indeed, be recommended, but answering the above questions yourself before the visit will aid the vet in diagnosing the problem.
Call your vet ASAP!!!!!
If you notice that, immediately go to the vet before anything worse happens.
i haven't had experience with gerbils bleeding-- but with dogs and bleeding feet- you just put a little corn starch on it and it will be fine! the gerbil depends on how much it is bleeding, if only a little it will be OK (as long as you stop the bleeding) i would just coax them away from each other with a little fruit or nut most likely- the gerbil will live =) no worries
You should take your gerbil to the vets ASAP. Your gerbil might be in pain, and if it has been bleeding for a while, they may die from blood loss. If you don't take your gerbil to the vets, they might die within 2-3 days...
My son pointed his finger at his wifes belly button & said your belly button is bleeding while still asleep. This scared my daughter in law.
Yes it can cause bleeding
The bald, lumpy patch on a gerbil's belly is one of its scent glands.
you're pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Find a way to separate them and then see how severe the bleeding is. :)
Go to the ER.
No it can scare you have give a bit of belly ache from Pink Princess
Brown spotting with pains in your belly button can be caused by many things. You could have internal bleeding or cancer for example.
If you have more than one gerbil then maybe the other one scratched it when they were play-fighting. Also your gerbil could be alergic to the type of bedding you have in the cage. It is normally aspen and other man-made wood products
What I did was have a tough glove (or gardening glove) and hold the FRIGHTENED gerbil. Note:A frightened gerbil bites. Grab a napkin,toilet paper, or anything available like that and use it to cover up the wound. Maybe do something like watch TV or something while paying attention to your gerbil. Hold it there for a good 15 to 30 min and he should be fine. Be careful. If not attended to fast enough, the Gerbil could bleed to death. - GerbilExpert
