I got a 13 year old Netherland Dwarf, and she has been in perfect health all her life. She roams free around my apartment 24 hours a day, but for a month now, her grooming has become poor, and I was forced to regulary clean her bum.
I was out of town for a few days, so a friend took care of her, when I got back today she was very dirty around her tail and hind legs, and I rushed too clean her.
When I was sitting with her on my lap I noticed that a patch of hair was missing on the lower part of the tail, near the genetailia, and when I tried to gently clean it, it started to bleed. She didn`t respond to it, and she acts normal, running around, eating, drinking, enjoys me petting her. BUT I was so shocked by the blood that I stopped cleaning her, afraid that I might worsen it. Since its Pentecost, all vets are closed, so I cant take her before tomorrow...
Should I try to clean her again? Or let it be until tomorrow? Is afraid to make it worse, but the risk of an infection burns on my mind. Hope anyone can please help me, she is my little baby...
