We separated the two oldest girls, plus Rilla, a couple of days ago when we noticed the younger ones bullying them. One day Maddy had a lot of fresh blood, and I thought there was a scratch, so I was sure the blood was from that. This morning and yesterday I had seen no blood, so I relaxed.
Tonight I went to give them their evening veggies and Maddy did not rush out. I found her lying very still in the back of the cage. I pulled her out to check her over, and I saw that she seemed to have blood coming from her vaginal area. SQ had thought so a couple of days ago, so she was right.
Maddy is really anemic. The cloth she'd been lying on has a lot of blood, and her ears and paws are pale. It is not affecting her appetite or enthusiasm for food, however. She was drinking water, and I gave her some nutritious food right away... several things in the fridge that had high iron and protein content. She is already on Baytril/Clavamox for respiratory infection, but I will have to switch the Clavamox for something that fights Myco. A few years ago I almost lost three little black berk girls to a similar problem; Zithro fixed them up like magic, so I will ask for that. Meanwhile I have to keep her going. I see no fresh blood at the moment, and she is eating and moving around, so I think she'll be OK for the night.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
