Beauty is Bleeding- Good update!!! 7/20

[ZoeHale]

She's lethargic, not puffy, but she is bleeding.
I can't tell if it's a bite wound (she and Lady wrestle ALOT when they're both in heat, which is ALOT.), or if she's bleeding out of her genitals.
My vet isn't open today, and I don't trust any other vet with my rats. One vet wanted to put Lady down because of a URI.
What can I do to help her, now? I've tried to clean her up with a warm wet washcloth.
Is there any sort of antiseptic I can put on her?
Anything?
I'm taking her in to the vet first thing in the morning.

Can you clean up the blood and take a better look? How much blood are we talking about?

Does it smell? Is she eating/drinking normally?

 

[ZoeHale]

I cleaned her up. So far she's eaten and drank.
It's definitely bleeding out of her genitals, from inside her. Not a cut, it's like if she was a human and on her period.

She'll probably need meds for UTI. Poor sweetie.

 

[Godmother]

Do you have any antibiotics handy?

 

[jorats]

As soon as you can, bring her to your vet.
In the meantime keep her well fed and hydrated and warm.

 

[ZoeHale]

Thanks so much guys! She and I have a vet appointment in thirty mins, she's in a better mood, she's exploring my shirt right now.
I'm hoping I can get some ABS and be on our way, with no complications.

Good Luck!!

 

[mamarat]

Good thoughts for your sweetie.

 

[ZoeHale]

She has an infection in her uterus, possibly a tumor. She's now on ABS (Baytril), but if they don't work then she'll have to be spayed.

 

[mamarat]

Hope the meds help.

 

[Godmother]

Poor sweetie. I hope that she recovers soon. No wonder she is lethargic. Kisses and banana mash to her. :heart:

 

[ZoeHale]

She's alot better, for just being on meds since yesterday! No bleeding, more active.
My sweet baby girl <3

Yay Beauty

 

[Godmother]

Such good news! Wishing Beauty a continuing recovery.

 

[jorats]

Hopefully it was just an infection. Yay!

Good news! Hopefully she stays healthy
