Chinchilla just gave birth yesterday...blood when peeing normal?

[shummy7]

My chinchilla just gave birth to two chin babies yesterday. She seems healthy and they seem healthy. I just noticed that her pee is a little red. I suspect that this is normal since she gave birth recently, but I just wanted to check if anyone has experience with this? I also know that blood in pee in small animals is linked to uterine cancer.

Thank you for your help!

Did you ever notice the color of her pee before she had babies?

Chins pee can be red-ish brown in color.

At no time in any animal that I'm aware of is blood in the urine normal, even after giving birth. There maybe blood being discharged during urination, but this is not blood in the urine.

Usually the female cleans well right away. If she didn't drink much prior to labor or during labor her urine may be very concentrated. Make sure she is drinking, and double check that the urine is not just concentrated ( dark orange colored )
