Flower from Newmarket - Spay Today...Last update :)

[lilspaz68]

The vet tech called and said she went through her surgery fine and could be picked up by 6 pm. I asked if there was anything abnormal, and she said there was no babies. I said that I was worried she had an infected uterus or tumours or something from her continual weight gain (68 grams in 23 days) and she said nothing there.

Weird.

I'll head out soon to get them.

So she was just enjoying her snacks! That is good that every thing went good and she had no babies making her sick in there.

 

[lilspaz68]

I am still massively confused, they were not skinny girls when they arrived, and Mena only gained a maximum of 10 grams since her arrival, whereas Flower....

Oooh phantom pregnancy is a possibility!!!

Oooh phantom pregnancy is a possibility!!!

If there's no medical reason, that really is the best possibility. She's had a lot of big changes and there's no reason her body could have gone out of whack because of them. Too bad peace of mind had to come with a price tag, though!

 

[M0onkist]

That actually does make sense! Sucks, but makes sense.

 

[Petunia]

wow phantom pregnancy?? I didn't know rats could have these... and they actually get bigger because their body thinks they need to feed the babies or something?
very strange

I am learning so much from all you folks' experiences

I am glad her spay went well, hope she heals quickly and doesn't give you any more reasons to worry and wonder!!! silly girl

 

[Godmother]

So glad that she is OK. The whole thing is a mystery. I had had no idea how many things could go wrong with our poor ratties.

Kisses to her :tumkiss: and (of course) some virtual :flowers:

I'm happy Flower is doing well. Sending healing vibes.

 

[lilspaz68]

We are all home and glad to be here

She does not at all look thrilled with you holding her like that I am glad you posted that picture, I was wondering how the spay incisions worked out.

She's still groggy, so she's resigned to me showing off her big round naked belly like that. Normally the shaving job isn't quite that extensive but that was done yesterday for the ultrasound.

 

[Godmother]

Reassuring to see her, despite her loss of dignity! What a nice incision. :thumbup: to Dr. M

 

Glad everything went fine ..strange but good all the same.

Nice incision! I'm glad everything turned out well, I'm sure Mena and Flower will be happy to be back together full time again.

 

[M0onkist]

LoL, love the stink-eye she was giving you there!

 

[crumbilina]

YAY! Glad she's home

lol even if she doesn't look please... at all haha

 

[Joanne]

Poor naked belly! She'll need her sister to keep her warm!

 

[Petunia]

wow what a tiny incision! I'm impressed.

Have a good night, hopefully you can rest easy now that there's no more waiting for babies
:wink2:

 

[mamarat]

No more worries for Flower. Glad she's home with you.
