Bright and Dark Pink Pouch - 01/08/21 02:43 AM
Hello Everyone,
I have been worried for a couple weeks now about Marci’s pouch. It looks very pink and I did take her to the vet, but he said she was okay. He took a swab of her pouch and no bacteria or discharge was present.
I still can’t shake this feeling that something is wrong though. Mable’s pouch looks nothing like Marci’s and it looks healthy.
Is it possible that it could be something else besides an infection? Would yeast come up on a bacterial swab? Could it be thrush? Should I go to another vet for a second opinion?
I looked at her pouch again tonight and it just doesn’t seem right to me. It kind of protrudes, but not like the insides are sticking out. She is not pregnant (if anyone is wondering). She is obese (unfortunately), but she doesn’t seem to be in distress. When she climbs on her cage and stretches out, I can see the pouch and it almost looks purple.
I’m very inclined to go for a second opinion, but I want to see what other experienced sugar parents thoughts are?
