Brown Bottom

[meaganlohan]

MY chin Chloe got into with my other female alee(posted about before) anywho now im noticing her fur all around her vaginal is brown.. kind of thick stuff in a few chunks of fur... Is this an infection? what should i do?:hair:im having such a hard time with her lately i just hope she'll overcome this is all

It could very well be an infection. Make an appointment to see the vet ASAP and ask them to check for pyometra.

Get to the vet A.S.A.P.!!! Could be a lot of things - none good!!

the vets arent open until monday she's already on antibiotic for her nose and neck would the antibiotics help with that browning problem? and will she be okay until monday?

Different antibiotics work for different infections, bacteria, problems etc. Look for an emergency vet in your area, as waiting to Monday could only make the issue worse. Vaginal infections or disruptions aren't something you want to wait on.

Find a emergency vet, and go!! You'll thank us later, once you find out the problem!!

Can you take a picture of the problem? And, do you know how long she has had the brown fur? Is it possible that it's just a cage stain?

It could definitely be some type of infection. Is she eating and acting normally? Any discharge coming from the vaginal opening at all?

Is she puddle sitting? Does she have a solid bottomed cage? Does the stain smell of urine?

im not sure what you mean by puddle sitting? and yes her cage is solid bottomed... and yes it does smell a little on urine

 

[meaganlohan]

im just not sure what this is here's a few picture the best i could do shes being squirmy

 

[threewingedfury]

It could just be urine, but it's too hard to tell. Try holding her from the base of the tail and let her hang down and take the picture. Still, it looks too dark to be urine to me, I just don't know.

 

[AZChins]

It's a little blurry...it could just be urine and be a cage stain. Maybe use a little more bedding in the cage to soak up the urine?

She's still acting normally, right?

 

[meaganlohan]

As normal as she can be i i weighed her an she's weighing in at 795 grams:err:... she's sleeps alot though.. plus her other injuries to her nose and neck... she's just not feeling good. and i cant get ahold of a vet OF COURSE! I included a 2 extra pics one of her nose and one of her neck just so you know what else she's dealing with

 

[meaganlohan]

the first one is her neck the second apparently a bum and here's her nose (her neck isnt really that swollen she had an embedded breeding collar before i got her so thats all scar tissue)

 

[AZChins]

Poor baby, her nose looks so raw.

It does look like urine on her underside. If she's acting normally at this point, I wouldn't think it is an infection. Definitely make sure she keeps eating and is acting normally. With pyometra it seems like most of the time the first symptom is lethargy or another behavioral change.

 

[meaganlohan]

Will do! i will still take her in on monday to be sure.. thank you

 

[4everchins]

Does the female have babies?

 

[Tanya]

Poor baby. I hope wounds heal fast.
It can be just urine stain. Urine can be brown/red if pellets are high in iron. And some brands are, pellets with Fe 560 ppm usually make urine brown( may depend on the proportion of pellets/hay of course). But chins urine is yellow with Fe 480 ppm or lower. Her poop can be dark too.
Can you tell what pellets do you feed?

 

[saphire]

Poor little angel, hope she heals soon.

 

[threewingedfury]

Looks like urine in that clear picture. I'd try using a baby wipe to clean her off a bit and see if shes peeing on herself.
