Hello! My sweet girl has had a little bit of porphyrin on her nose here and there since her surgery (mammary tumor removal) 2 weeks ago. She's finished up with her pain meds and has one more day of antibiotics. She's active, eating and pooping well. She had her follow up appointment on Friday and there are no signs of respiratory distress or other illness.
I haven't seen any porphyrin around her eyes at all and none around the cage on her fleece or paper.
The one thing is that her incision is super itchy and she can scratch it with her back foot, so it's still pretty scabby and a little irritated. Could that be the cause of the porphyrin?
This is a little off subject, but we are traveling this week. We're heading to a destination about an hour and a half away for a few days and are taking our rattie with us. Any suggestions on how to keep the car ride as stress free as possible as well as being in a new environment?
