Now Marmalade has 'wet tail'.....

Off to the vets later.....I can't believe how unlucky my little girl can be. I'm exhausted with worry about her. I discovered her wet bum about 7pm, spent an hour washing and clipping her last night, dried her, and then later on discovered a big wet patch on her fleece (by kneeling in it).

I'd never heard of wet tail until I sat down at about 9pm to research why she was wet!

Oh dear, I hope the problem is something relatively minor such as a slight UTI. Sending lots of vibes for her xx
 
Only a small wet patch on her fleece this morning and a dry bum!! I put Sudocrem on the inflamed patches last night and they look like normal skin this morning.

Still going to the vets of course, but she's not in the mess I thought she would be thank goodness, bless her heart xx

Hi Jo

Many vibes for Marmalade and strength for you to try and stop worrying so much.

I hope the vet will find nothing much and help her quickly xx
 
Many thanks x

The vet is treating her for cystitis and has prescribed anti-inflammatories twice a day (Metacam) and some topical cream (flamazine). No antibiotics at this stage. She has 3 days of Metacam and then we have to see how she is after that. (He also shaved her 'bits', which was good!)

Yet again, she has to stay in the shed and can't be next to Muffin (now in a whole new set-up of his own!), so the nightmare bonding continues to be set-back ..... :(

I hope that her cystitis will clear up quickly, topping up the vibes for her xx
 
Thanks guys xx

Another dry night, and cream duly applied this morning (her skin is looking very good now). Praying it all continues for her....(and us!)....xx

P.S. The Metacam is now on some treaty bits of food which I know she won't be able to resist during the day :)
