Velvet has been bleeding

Hi Glynis

Glad to hear the surgery went well. It is not unusual for blood to appear in piggie wee after major abdominal surgery and in terms of her general demeanour it could take 6weeks for her to get back to normal.

Rowan is back with me tonight after a spay last tuesday. I noticed she too has blood in her wee but I am not too worried atm as this has happened with other spayed sows I have had (and neutered boars too!) and they have all been fine within 3 weeks.

Just keep an eye on it. ...it should go in a few days. If thick undiluted blood is seen coming from her vagina then that is the time to go the the e-vets.

The wheeking accompanying the bloody wee does concern me however. If the pain relief you are giving her (presumably meta-cam at the correct dosage of 0.1-0.2ml dog meta-cam once daily) isn;t cutting the mustard - try trama-dol - I have found this to be much better than meta-cam for piggies in real pain from ops/stones etc

HTH - my lot send over some healing wheeks to their Ozzy cousin

THANKS LOVE XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX xx>>>xx>>>xx>>>xx>>>

i had taken her off metacam, so just intro'd it again last night. I only used 1 drop so will up her to 2 drops tonight. Will speak to Brendan re trama-dol too.
I didn't know they could still bleed after the op, the only thing i did think to ask was could she be incontinent? as i had noticed the past two days when hand feeding she'd want to hop down for a wee early than usual........
I was the same red blood, not watered down like when i first discovered it.

Please give darling Rowan lots n lots of little nose kisses and rubs from me and big sisterly brrrrrrrr's and kisses from the girls XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 
Awwww come on velvie Girl you were doing so well!
Lots of huge and piggy kisses, Brendan will sort it out I bet!

THANKYOU x>>x>>x>> this totally undid me! (sitting at desk crying)
I've had so much wonderful support and loves sent for Velvet it's really over whelming XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 
10/8/12 no real update

Sorry no real update, all whee are doing is giving her more baytril (yup i have probiotics and she loves it!) for next two weeks.
The dam test results are not in as yet..........
It's not like a UTI it is definitely blood when urinating or pooping! :...

She's lost a little weight but i can manage that with extra hand feeding. Unfortunately too she is getting wet on her butt so i'm going to carefully do a mini butt wash, gonna just use wet warm washer and then dry her off ...... can't afford to get her wet.

Keep those vibes going everyone THANKS x>>x>>x>>x>>x>>
 
Sorry to hear Velvey has this problem after the op - although Rowan has discoloured urine after her spay it sounds to me like Velvey has something else. Adhesions (scar tissue forming during healing after surgery) springs to mind but that wouldn;t cause the bleeding as described.

Maple bleeds - like really bleeds - from his bladder. Thick undiluted blood.

Having spent a fortune on tests we are still in the dark as to what causes it as all the usual things have been ruled out.

We have got it under control with cystaid (1 capsule per day). You can also use cystease. A long bumpy car journey brings on a bleed. Stress brings on a bleed. Cystaid helps sort it.

Might be worth a shot?

Hugs Hun

yup anything is worth a go, i had put her back on Patrick Juice (aka pearl barley) but that's a good idea x>>x>>x>>x>>x>>
Its' just so frustrating as you know so well!
Please give Maple all our love XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 
Sending more vibes for velvet, what a worry for you glynis, have another huggle for yourself


Xxxxxxxxxx x>>
 
Oh Glynis :...

Poor Velvet! Sending you lots of healing wheeks & piggy kisses from me & the piggles here x>>

Glynis, I just thought maybe when your vet gave her tummy a feel it may have loosened a little blood clot forming inside? If so then hopefully Velvet will be fine now she's passed it xx

Sending big positive vibes for your girlie xx
 
Update 10/8/12 - histophathology results

I'm going to type out the results......

Clinical History: Ovariohysterectomy last week. Uterus enlarged but not grossly abnormal.

Gross Morphology: 2 pieces of uterus 20 x 15 x 5mm and 5mm diameter x 18mm, one ovary 8mm diameter within fat

Histopathology: Ovary-there are multiple, variably-sized, often very large cysts present within the ovary. Most of these are lined by low cuboidal to columnar ephithelial cells. There is some compression of surrounding ovarian tissue.
Uterus-multiple sections are examined. Diffusely there is moderate cystic dilation of endometrial glands which sometimes contain low numbers of neutrophils.

Diagnosis: multiple ovarian cysts with cystic endometrial hyperplasia and mild endometritis.

Comments: Ovarian cysts (cystic rete ovarii) are frequently present in animals that are more than one year old. They may be associated with reduced reproductive performance in sows 15 months old and older. Cystic endometrial hyperplasia, mucometra, endometritis, fibroleiomyomas and alopecia are other changes associated with this disease.

Brendan's comments were that he is happy there is no cancer now present! x):(|)
He too (as you said too Poppy's Mum) that it is a clot that has come loose and it's slowly seeping......if i notice any changed in her pigself (in pain, not moving around etc) i'm to call a.s.a.p.

darn it.......the heading should say histopathology !

Thankyou friends wheeeeeeeky loves from me and Onyx xoxoxoxoxoxo
and my mummy says give your mum and dad some kisses from me and her! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 
Love to you and Velvet, more vibes her way x x
 
The results say there was some endometriosis present, so the bleeding could have been caused by that maybe. Hopefully it's all passed now and she will recover well :)

HEALING VIBES, HUGS AND PIGGY KISSES FROM THE FARMER CLAN!

Get well soon Velvet!
 
Most of it I didn't understand, but am glad to read Brendan's thoughts that he is satisfied. Now we just need her to make a complete recovery, and never scare anyone again!
 
Poor Velvet! Sending you lots and lots of love, i have lost touch with this thread.

The histo report says that she had cystic ovaries, endometrial hyperplasia will probably be due to the cystic ovaries and a hormonal imbalance. Just where the uterus becomes a little bigger than normal. And the endometritis is an inflammation of the womb lining. All great news so far, considering we were worried about neoplasia (cancer)

Sending you lots and lots of love!

x.
 
What relief that there is no cancer and nothing what you wouldn;t expect in a girl of her age!

The Tribe are sending lots of piggy kisses!
