Hey,
I’ve found blood in my pigs bed this morning. Please see attached photo.
I’ve checked his paws for any cuts and the rest of him out but can’t find anything.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks

Hi

Please keep an eye on the situation (but please try not to panic or obsess) and see whether it is a one off cut or the very start of a urinary tract infection of some sort (bacterial or sterile).
Symptoms with the latter (including intensely red dyed porphyrin pees that look like blood but may or may not contain blood) can be very hit and miss in the first days.


All the best.
