Ovarian cysts?

[greathat]

I think one of my girls had ovarian cysts. Been struggling to get a vets appointment but am in for tomorrow afternoon! Should I take her friend with her to the vet?

I would recommend you take her friend to hold her paw.
My two boys never go anywhere without each other

I hope the appointment goes well. Let us know how you get on

Hi and welcome

Please always take the companion if at all possible. I call the 'paw holders'.

All the best!

Good luck at the vets.

Took them both. The vet wants to try treating with a different anti parasitic to rule out mites completely. So she’s had a dose of Selmactin and has to have another one in a fortnight.

So I’m guessing hairloss is a symptom you are noticing?

Yes but in a line down each side which is what made me think cysts. I’ve massively struggled to get in at a vets as the one I thought I was registered at told me they’d never heard of me. Literally tried about 20 vets before I got in at this one

She’s also been considerably more “humpy” than usual
