No, i've never had a hamster with a bleeding scent gland but know how scary it is when a hamster has a bleed.

I got into a right panic when i saw Syrian Henry peeing blood even though Henry himself didn't seem bothered by it.

I'm not a vet so don't want to speculate on Loki's prognosis but hopefully someone will reply who has come across this before. Even then only a vet will be able to diagnose and treat Loki. They'll probably prescribe a course of antibiotics to rule out an infection unless there's a visible cause like an injury or cyst for example.
