Tonight I noticed that JC has blood leaking out of her vulva. Is
this
common among ferrets with her illnesses or is this something
entirely
different? She also has several spots that look like blood
blisters on her
skin. The spots are not raised and about the diameter of a pencil
eraser.
Have any of you ever seen anything like this before? Our vet is
out of town
until next Monday. I honestly do not know how concerned I should
be about
her. I'm wondering if I'm being selfish by not having her put out
of her
misery--though she doesn't act as if she is having any discomfort
at all).
Internal bleeding? Ruptured something? Near death?
This is something to be concerned about, and I would recommend
getting her looked at as soon as you can.
She may have a bleeding disorder, or it may be something entirely
different, but even though she is acting normally, this is something
that should be checked out.
