leeky jill....

[jazz_11 5]

hiya...... as you may or may not know my jill had a phanton pregnancy and is now coming back into season, i remember when she was in season last time she was leaking a yellowie greenie colour fluid (little bit.) around her vulva, but not she is leeking alot more that last time.....

does this mean shem will be more fertile...

[jazz_11 5]

anyone have any ideas why it is so much more than last time..

[Guest jojoamojo]

very good question;

 

how long as she been in season, have you left her in season before for a long time, how old is she, how much is alot and is it green and snot like

That sounds suspiciously like an infection and the greeny fluid would be pus! Vet job I'd say.

The only time i'd expect a discharge from a jill is after she's given birth .If its thick smelly etc your better letting a vet have a look

[jazz_11 5]

not thick and doesnt really smell but dont want to smell it lol she is 1 and a half, its her second time in season with me but the first time i only just let her come into season when i mated her, her vulva wasnt that big, and the same now its still a few weeks to go before i think she is 100%ready.....

i no when jills come in season they do leek.

The only time iv'e seen jills leak is just before there about to give birth ,no sure about coming into season

[Guest jojoamojo]

i think people are suspecting a pyometra, basically its an infected womb, sometimes you get a puss leaking from her vulva, which is the fastest way to diagnose a pyo, some dont get the leak and only vigilance anf awareness lets you see the jill is not right and get her to a vet asap

 

a jill will be ready to mate within 2 weeks of coming into season, if you shouldnt leave her longer or you are increasing the risks of a plastic anemia

 

the discharge you would expecxt to see is just enough to make her vulva look wet, not pouring out of her

 

what happened to the last litter?

i'd suggest probably not.. might be worth a vet visit.. unforunately there are just some things that aren't fixable in the back garden....

[Guest jojoamojo]

how many times do you need to be told its a job for the vet?

 

*if* its a pyo you could loose her

the ferret forum, can only give you advise, not fix the problem, you have asked the question, and had more replies saying "get to the vets" and as yet, Ive not seen a post saying"mine get this green puss too, so all is ok"

as much as I dislike vets, in this Instance, I'd say get her to a vet's too :sick:

[jazz_11 5]

i have been told they do give off a discharge, what i want to know is how much???

doesnt seem to be much today at all, alot less than yesterday....

any other advice than go to the vets....

[sue 1]

i am not your vet so i woundnt have a clue how much it would cost you , better to discuss prices with them im sure it wont cost you that much for a check up to put your mind at rest.
