Hi I am worried about my girl Betty's weight. She is three years old but I have only had her since Sept 13. Within a week of her coming to me she had blood in her urine, vet thought she was pregnant so off she went for a scan. 'Pregnancy' turned out to be a huge infected mass in her ovaries. This was removed and she was spayed. She was quite poorly following the op, and lost quite a bit of weight as she wasn't eating properly. Thankfully she recovered fully within a few weeks and is still going strong! Lately I have noticed she has been gaining more weight, and she has now reached 1.4kg. I am concerned that she's now overweight. She gets lots of floor time but she has never been one for running around madly like my other pigs. Basically she likes to snooze in a box while she's out! She is an Abyssinian so looks big anyway because of her tufty hair, but she just looks huge round her middle. She actually looks pregnant with the shape of her body, which of course she can't be! Is this just weight gain, is she too fat, or is there something else going on inside her, like another growth that is making her weigh heavy? Apologies for the really long post but I'm new to the forum, and I'm really worried about my Betty Boop! Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
