My poor piggie, Carmel, is currently on antibiotics in the hopes that she merely has an infection. However, I’m fairly certain that’s not at all what we’re dealing with. I found blood on her fleece about 6 weeks ago and then found a scratch on her partner, Gretel, so had assumed it had come from her. Then, two weeks ago, I found much more blood on their fleece and saw that it had actually come from Carmel - though we had gone a month without any issues since the first one. I immediately brought her to the vet, who x-rayed her, as you can see from the attached picture. He saw a lot of gas, causing bloating, and a round mass on her right side. He put her on TMS, in hopes that it was an infection, but said we could very well be dealing with a tumour. (She pooped and peed while she was there and ruled out either of those, as no blood was present in those samples.) It is likely a uteran issue .... Has anyone else seen something like this? Oh and also to mention, she is peeing a LOT and her bottom is always wet these days. Perhaps pressure from this mass on her bladder is causing this? She’s been on the TMS for two weeks with no more bleeding, but then I found more today. I’m calling the vet in the morning to make a follow up appointment but thought I’d check in here as well. Thanks!
