smudgersmith 2 Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 One of my jills as been a bit below par for a few days, very slow and not that interested in food. Seperated her and checked her yesterday, really slow and half a sleep dragging her rear along the deck. She was covered by my hob three weeks ago, today she has a yellow discharge from her, all her rear-end is wet and mated, no kits to be seen. Any ideas, ? Smudger Quote Link to post

smudgersmith 2 Posted May 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Thanks for all your comments, before I went out with my terriers this morning I checked on her, sadly she was dead. I have cleaned out the court and box and will leave it a week or so. The rear end of the fert was in a real mess, yellow discard and I think a spot of blood, a real shame as she was a hard working jill, and always happy to be handled. Smudge Quote Link to post

Guest bigredbusa Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 by the sounds of it within 48 hrs they are dead , intrested to know what it was and as the vet has fecked up i would get them to find out what it was FOC Quote Link to post
Clover 0 Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 by the sounds of it within 48 hrs they are dead , intrested to know what it was and as the vet has fecked up i would get them to find out what it was FOC The vet saw Jazz's ferret, not Smudger's, and it was Smudger's ferret that died. Shame she wasn't taken to the vet - at the very least she could have been saved some suffering. Quote Link to post
Guest jojoamojo Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 its a pyometra, an infected womb, if ytou get a discharge that is not standard 'wet vulva' when they are in season you should get them to a vet for an emergency spay immediatley they can be saved with a quick spay and good antibiotics, but you must act quickly Quote Link to post
