New girl Patsy has either enlarged kidneys or ovarian cysts

So happy for you that it’s not her kidneys. Hopefully the cysts won’t cause much issue either.

Aunty Rachel says Patsy has ovarian cysts. As she is asymptomatic we are not going to do anything about it atm. I know what to look out for so if she starts to display any symptoms, I'll take her straight back. Patsy's kidneys are fine. I'm pleased there's nothing wrong with the kidneys as that would be more problematic.

Glad for the good news! Non-hormonal fluid filled ovarian cysts are actually the most common form of cysts and the most common in especially older sows. They will need addressing if they grow too large (pressing on the gut or even gut adhesions etc).
 
Glad it’s not a kidney problem.
Hope the cysts remain quiet and small.
Knowing you if there is a problem develop you’ll pick it up and have Pretty Patsy at the vet in 5 minutes.
