Hi, RVN here!

It may be worth taking him to the vets to obtain a urine sample for them to test. Even if you just request a dipstick and SG measurement which are generally pretty inexpensive, they’re a good indication for kidney function and therefore helpful for any urinary concerns.

My poor hammy’s been unwell over the weekend and I did a dipstick which showed blood 4+ even though his urine was barely blood-tinged.

I hope Matilde’s ok, sending him lots of snuggles!
