We went to Emmie today. She is sure Rocky has an ovarian cyst. She can feel it, and Rocky is getting quite bald, poor love. We are probably looking at having a hysterectomy.
 
Hysterectomy is major surgery for a gp and should only be done as a last resort.

Chorolon injections will often shrink the cyst.They should always be tried first.
 
Thanks Mary. I hadn't heard of those. We haven't agreed anything yet, so I can mention that to the vet.
 
I'm sorry that Rocky is not well. Maybe the injections could be tried before the surgery. Hopefully whichever way you go, he'll be better soon x
