    Mouth bleeding

    So I adopted this 2 year old ball about a month and a half ago. Was told he is a male, and he has had no issue feeding once a week since we got him. He was last fed on Sunday so I felt like holding him tonight. He was just chilling and I got up to grab a bite to eat and I noticed blood on my arm. I thought it was me at first until his tongue came out accompanied by blood. I have no idea what this could mean and could really use some help.
    Thanks

    Re: Mouth bleeding

    I'd try and have a look inside his mouth - use something round and relatively soft like a q-tip with the cotton removed or the insert from an old biro.

    Check for problems like yellow pus like patches or obvious bleeds from a broken tooth or similar.

    I agree, check inside his mouth and see if there is an infection or abscess.
