Bleeding from genital area

[goldencolouredskies]

Just found a distinct amount of red blood around Fizzy's genitals. She doesn't seem to be actively bleeding anymore, her weight is similiar to her normal weight (she's actually GAINED a tiny bit, but not enough to be notable) and she doesn't seem in pain or distressed. There's no blood on any of her fleece, either - no sign of the blood having gotten particularly far outside of her body. But there's some crust on her nipples, and MAYBE the tiniest bit of hair loss on her underside? I can't really tell, it's an odd spot.

She's going to be heading to a vet tomorrow, but it's 10pm at night right now, I don't have my license and my family is asleep. Is Fizzy okay to go to the vet tomorrow, or is she likely to not make it that long?

We don't entirely know her age - she was estimated to be 4ish when I got her, and that was a year and a half ago now, so she's probably 5, almost 6. She's an old lady, for sure.

Hi, so long as there isn’t blood pouring out of Fizzy and she’s acting her normal self, she should be able to wait until tomorrow to see the vet given it already being late at night.

I hope all goes well and that she’s ok x

How’s Fizzy today?

Brought her to the vet and the diagnosis is that it's most like ovarian cysts. They don't reccomend operating due to her age, which I agree with completely, just monitor.

We have a girl with likely ovarian cysts on a long-term low dose of loxicom which keeps such bleeds at bay. It was very unnerving when it first presented though!
