Karen,
From what I have read it sounds like adrenal. I have included the
following URL's for your reference. If I were you I would push the
vet to see her as soon as possible. Let me know what happens...

fatty deposits. I was very relieved. But last night when I was
holding her, I noticed that her rectum was swollen and extended from
her body, it looked like Plunkett's had when we were treating him for
a prolasped rectum, but there was no discoloration. It was a normal
healthy pink color.. I looked closer and saw that her vulva looked a
bit swollen. She hasn't had any fur lose, she is eating fine and none
of the stool in the cage looks unusual. I am taking her to the vet
the day after tomorrow when I am not going to be working, but I am
very very worried about her.
