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!
hello! Thank you very much for your answer. I have that material at home, I will try to do what you say. I hope I have a sufficient sample to be able to obtain results.
is your hamster receiving treatment? Hugs to him too.
