Question
My girl 'swiss' is 23 days pregnant, so she should have them any minute, Last night she had a gooey, orange discharge and tonight (Mon) She is bleeding exessively, and all she'll do is sleep. Whats going on? Ive bred rats many times but I'm really concerned. Is my Swissy ok? Please send a email as soon as you can...

Answer
You're right. This sounds urgent. I'm a little inclined to ask about your history, experience and knowledge of breeding, but for now we must tend to Swiss.

I am not a vet, and this doesn't sound like something you can take care at home, but it could be a number of things and she must be taken to the vet right away.

Good luck.
