Senior Guinea Pig
Old lady Jezzy floof just got back from her vet check and its sad news... the vet did a conscious ultrasound on her tummy because it seemed a bit swollen and she's been a bit wee soaked and grumpy lately... poor old Jezzy probably has liver failure, her liver is very enlarged and her tummy is full of fluid which is a classic sign of liver failure and probably where all the extra wee is coming from
Poor old floofy girl, she still seems cheerful for now and is eating well but it's probably just a matter of time before her liver shuts down and also her kidneys peeing out all the fluid build up...
Now the vet has shaved her tummy you can see how swollen she looks, she's always had a big tummy and I did wonder if she might have an ovarian cyst or something operable, but sadly not- palliative care only, the vet was very definite, there's nothing to be done
