Noticed puss

[Fallenmunchkin]

First off I'm a first time pig owner, about a couple weeks ago , our older piggie, injured her back legs, we thought she was on the mend.
This morning I wake up noticing she was not acting right. I pick her up and noticed puss. I gave her a bath and cleaned the area with saline,
I don't get paid until Friday. What can I do to keep her comfortable until then. I can't afford a vet right now. I only know of one cavie vet un my area and she is super expensive thanks.

Unfortunately if there is pus, then that means infection so she will need to see a vet for antibiotics.
Can you speak to the vet and ask if they can do a payment plan, or is there a family member you can borrow some money from?

This morning I was cleaning my guiena pigs , noticed she was acting kinda strange, so I picked her up and noticed some puss.
At first I thought she was on the mend from a leg injury and now this .
I did clean out with saline , and dried it and so far no more puss.
I'm already offering vitamin c pellets and giving vitamic in a liquid form. As recommended by the vet.
My question is how can I keep her comfortable until I get paid on Friday?
How can I make sure it doesn't spread?

Where on her body is the pus coming from?
Pus indicates an infection, so antibiotics will likely be required from a vet.

Where is the pus coming from?
Is it from a wound that she already had?
Is she on medication like antibiotics and pain relief?
Maybe if you could try and post a picture of the wound that would help.

Unfortunately pus is a sign of infection and really needs to be treated promptly with strong antibiotics and daily cleaning.
Would it be possible to get her seen by a vet and explain you will be able to pay on Friday, or do most vets expect immediate payment?
Here we are always given 30 days, but I know it isn't the same everywhere.

Sorry, about that.
I get is a sign of infection .
Unfortunately we don't qualify for payment options.
It is coming from her bottom.
I can't get her in until Friday and money is super tight.

Pus coming from the bottom really does need veterinary attention sooner rather than later. In my experience discharge from the genital tract usually means a womb infection requiring antibiotics. If it is a uterine infection and it is left it can result in the need for a spay procedure.

Is there anyone you could ask to borrow the money from and pay them back on Friday? Otherwise I’m afraid I’m not sure there’s anything you can do. Keep us posted.
