I would like to add that I have seen dried discharge around Fig's vulva. It
looks almost like dried blood, or perhaps it could be poop if she happened
to sit in it, but I'm not really sure, but it isn't anywhere else on her
rear. She is having another bad day, this time splaying her hind legs out to
the sides and dragging them behind her. If this had anything to do with a
pinched nerve or back damage it would have been seen when the radiologist
looked at the rads wouldn't it?
