sorry I've been busy with school. Nope, never found out what was wrong with my female at all. she's been eating normally, passing normal fecals and urates so i'm not sure what really happened. The vet gave her a clean bill of health though.

At any point in the handling did she try and ram her head anywhere or have to be restrained about the head area?

I'm wondering if she managed to bite herself inside the mouth a little?

Or possibly stabbed herself inside the mouth with a little splinter of aspen or somesuch - but I would have expected the vet to spot that when he looked inside her mouth.:confused:

This sounds like a good theory. I can't come up with anything better :( Sorry that happened!

hey thats good she has a clean bill but i am sure u got an expensive bill :D worth it tho

i have found that in past my bp have bit them selfs somehow. not quite sure how, once one of my large males was grasping my arm a little tight for my liking. went to unwrap him gentally of course, and he had blood dripping from his mouth.

My retic has done this before. My thoughts were that he was pushing a broken tooth out of his mouth when the blood came...this could be your situation as well.

man that must be an awesome vet i wish i had someone like brad here

My red tail did something similar once, he bit himself and i couldn't tell he was cut on his 'upper lip' and was bleeding because it was so dark. When i realized it was a simple fix but it took me a while to figure it out. Granted, he wasn't dripping blood just leaving some blood on the ground.
