Default Bleeding hamster

So my Russian dwarf hamster is about a year and three months old, and today I was holding her when I noticed some blood on my hand. After doing some research, I think she may have a urinary tract infection. The problem is, since it' Sunday, my vet is closed. My question is, can she wait until tomorrow to go in? She isn't heavily bleeding, and this is the first day I've noticed it.

Default Re: Bleeding hamster

I think she will be OK till the morning. Are you sure it is not coming from the vagina? It is much more likely it is a womb infection. It is hard to tell as the two openings are so close together but any bloodstained discharge needs seen. The vet will likely give antibiotics but if it is a womb infection she may need an operation to spay her. I hope is is something simple x
