Woke up this morning to quite a scare. I noticed blood was spotted all over Jane Fonda's marble slab. I was trying to figure out where it was coming from, and noticed some on her chest. She was looked at for teeth issues, so I thought it might have been a tooth fallen out. Then I noticed what looked like a -KIND OF GRAPHIC- bubble of blood -GRAPHIC- near her privates. I immediately called the vet I go to, Community Animal Hospital in Dover, NJ.
When they looked at her underside, I couldn't look myself. Blood all over. I am 25, but my mother and I are very close and she met me at the vet for support. She looked when the doctor was examining and said there looked as if -KIND OF GRAPHIC- something that was supposed to be inside her body, was outside and she was all swollen in the area -GRAPHIC-. Doc took Jane in the back to examine more carefully.
She came back with three options:
1. A pollup, usually benign.
2. A tumor, which x-rays would knock out if there were growths elsewhere in her body such as the lung and if it was potential caner.
3. Prolapsed uterus. When the vet was examining, she said she probed in the area past the mass and couldn't see anything further into the vagina, nor how it attached to the uterine wall. This suggested that the mass and stem of it WERE the actual uterine wall, and uterus.
X-rays came back and we could see no masses in her lungs or elsewhere. Just a calcified area which looked as though it may have been one of the "horns" (as she said) of the uterus, with the rest of the uterus and the other "horn" outside of Jane right now. She's home for the night, so to make her less stressed without the dog and cat noises at the vet. Bringing her tomorrow morning early for her surgery. They're discussing a full spay, but we won't know until the vet calls us tomorrow right before, when she makes the decision.
I know a lot of people are breeders or may be interested in this story, so I'll keep you all updated. Plus, I just felt like reaching out to other chin owners in this scary time. <3
