my rat is bleeding

Question
we have noticed a little blood around the nose and mouth. what can that be.
thanks


Answer
Porphyrin discharge, not blood.  

Please refer to my website and compare photos of the discharge that looks like blood, but it isnt.  


Let me know if the photos are what your rat has!
