What do it means when a gerbils noce is bleeding?

You think your gerbil may be sick her nose looks swollen and one of her eyes looks puffy what does this mean?

Why is the gerbils tail wet Also why is one eye closed and pink around the eyelid It isn't eating and exercising much. The other gerbil gets along well with it. It is still warm. What should I do?
It might be allergic to the bedding. These symptoms are common with pine and aspen allergic reactions. Try replacing your bedding with Carefresh or Eco-bedding, which is a bedding made of recycled cloth and other soft, hypoallergenic materials. This should clear up the problem. If not, take you gerbil to the vet, as it may be something more serious.
