It's probably her anal glands, and it sounds like they are infected. Take her to the vet she'll need antibiotics.

uh why do you have a pet rat?

---

is she in heat? i know if the rust color is out of nose that it is a respiratory infection. if its not something wrong- which i'd call a local vet that handles exotic pets and just ask them. then only other thing i can think of is that she is menstruating?

she's not pregnant?

It's an URI (upper respiratory infection). The symptomns are red liquid oozing out of the eyes or nose. Take her to your vet and they can prescribe a simple medication and she should be fine. I had four rats that got this all at the same time. Good Luck. I hope I helped. Is she sneezing at all or sound like she is having difficulty breathing?
