Wanda has had periodic vaginal bleeding since she came. When I took her out of the travel cage the day she came I thought she had diarrhea cause it was brown and smelled horrible. I found later it was vaginal. She's older and had already had tumors removed and she came her to spend her last days in comfort but I tried baytril anyway. It cleared up. She had another brown stinky episode since that cleared up with baytril.
Than another bleeding but not so smelly and she's been on baytril for 10 days when yesterday she was bleeding again, but it seemed like a lot and it was red not brown and no smell. I took her to the vet. Without testing he couldn't say what's wrong from urinary infection to tumors..
He added Novo-Trimel to her baytril to start at test A. She was fine
afterwards as she always has been until a while ago.
Keep in mind all this has been since April 17.
She came out of her house today and it's fresh blood again and she is running around like normal but then having a laydown. NOt acting normal. She's obviously feeling some pain.
What can I do for her to ease her pain?
A rush to the vets is not the answer, I'm not going to do that. I was drained by vet bills in the last 6 months and only took Wanda because she was at the point where we expected not much would benefit her but love & care. That I can do. I spent $99 yesterday, and I don't care about that, I had to do that for my own comfort, but I can't take her to my regular vet now and do xrays and ultrasounds.....I'm expecting this is a gradually terminal cancer (which the vet yesterday seemed to acknowledge without commintting to it) and it's at the point I should consider pain meds.
Got I wish I'd thought of that at the vets yesterday.
I've never had to treat pain in a rattie. What can I do for her?
