possible urine scald
So, i got an emergency appointment at my vets today. She got the work-up: a check-up, a look at her urine, and x-rays. The checkup was fine, she's a good weight for her age and everything else on her looked fine. Her urine is fine, and i finish her antibiotics today. The x-rays were confusing, though. The vet said she was fine, that it wasn't a tumor. It was a thickening of her fatty tissue right there. He said he didn't even know how i felt that and could tell that it was different from the other side. So, all in all, we came home with a healthy Ginger, extra critical care, and a tired Megan. yay for healthy Ginger. Boo for her almost giving me a heart attack.
It's happened again...and this time with blood. I turned her over, and was absolutely horrified that she had blood around her vaginal area. I panicked, called my vet. I'm waiting to hear from him now to see if he'll send bactrim down. Oh man, that was really scary to see blood on her.
I already have a vet appointment for the 11th. It's pretty far away, but it works with my work schedule and pay. My vet said if she doesn't get better in a few days, I HAVE to come in, no exceptions. I'm close with my vet, and he will take me if i have to run down, for a mid-week exam. But, with everything else, i have made the appointment for the 11th.
He is sending bactrim down, enough to make it to her appointment. Thank you, Talishan. I hope she feels better soon, too. She seems fine---but isn't that the problem with pigs?

Always. Until they don't. And when they don't it is almost guaranteed to be at 11:30 p.m. on a Saturday night.
I'm hopeful the Bactrim will work and you won't have to run down mid-week. Be prepared for it and plan for it, though, and then it won't happen. ;-)
Keep us posted.

Absolutely. I will keep you guys posted. When i saw her like that, and started to freak out, my boyfriend yelled from the other room "Go on Guinea Lynx!". haha. You guys can be my sanity sometimes.
