Help! Swollen female pouch - 05/25/06 07:41 AM
Goodmorning Everyone. I know I've only posted once or twice before, but I'm not that new to the fourm. I surf the site many times during the week, looking 2 answer questions or curiosity. I'm writing now b/c I need your help. I'm worried about my female Mia. Tonight when I gave them their food, I noticed something different with her pouch. It seemed relaxed but pink and more open than usual. She was also very active, she seemed desperate for attention. I took her out and examined her. She is very bonded and very trusting w/ me. I could look at her pouch w/ any trouble. Inside it looks like she is swollen. Not pink or red, but almost like 2 blisters. I call them blisters b/c you could see somewhat through the skin. They are symetrical. When I was examining her, the pouch was easy to open, it turned inside out. There is definately some sort of fluid inside. After I would look at it, she would then lick to clean herself, and then lick me. I'm not sure if her pouch was wet before this or only after I had examined her.
I thought I should share some more info that might help.
I got her Oct of last year when she was 7 weeks OOP. She lives w/ a male that was fixed in Aug of last year when we got him. Both are great eaters and follow a pretty regular routine. Both have had wellness exams and are due for mid year check ups. I had an appointment scheduled for the first week of June, but now I plan to get her in as soon as possible.
Has anyone delt w/ any thing like this? Is this something that develops w/ puberty? Is it part of her cycle? I really hope this is one of those dumb questions. Any and all help is greately appreciated.
Honestly, I don't know what I would do if I lost my little girl. I love my Girl Friend dearly, But Mia has taken my Heart.
Praying and waiting for answers.
Thanks again,
JP.
