Why does my rat have strong smelling runny droppings? ?

I have an albino rat (8 months)that is supposedly pregnant. Her stools are extremely foul smelling, runny and resemble ferret droppings. Nothing has changed in her diet, I think it might be because of the stress of being pregnant. She also looks like she might have a bloody nose, but the discharge is just pinky-red. Any tips on how to help her out? Why does my rat have strong smelling runny droppings? ?
She is probably just stressed. When rats have a lot of stress it shows in their droppings and being pregnant is very stressful. Just try to make her as comfortable as possible.Why does my rat have strong smelling runny droppings? ?
The discharge from her nose is a sign of a respiratory infection, that needs to be treated immediately by a vet.





The smelly poop, many possibilities. If there is alfalfa in her diet you should stop feeding it immediately. Alfalfa is not digestable to rats and makes for very bad smelling poop.
where u adopted her go to that place and ask about it. or any other petco or petsmart anything they will give u answers and what to use
because she has too much vitamin C in her diet. do you feed her carrots?
