Poor little Éowyn. Her temper varies over different degrees of "happy" - she never sulks or complains. This morning I would pick her up, and she whimpered loudly. Thinking I just had pulled some hairs or something, I let her go.
Later today she suddenly whimpered when walking, and we both wondered. Then this afternoon, she started scooting on her behind, round and round, without getting any relief. Normally, if she does that, it's only for a short while to show us that she wants to get out. We let her out, nothing, just whimpering and scooting. Also, she is a very tough girl, if she's sad or whimpers, something is really wrong.
We checked her behind, and Christian found a huge, hard lump (anal glands, of course :sl*p, and she whimpered loudly. The vet opens 8 a.m. Monday morning, but after a few more whimpers we decided to call the emergency number, then the vet could decide further action.
He asked us to come right away, and luckily we did. Both her anal glands were swollen and infected, and it demanded immediate action. The vet couldn't get it all, she got some antibiotics and painkillers, and she has to come back for control Friday. Then he will decide whether or not she needs to be operated.
Poor Éowyn is now very out of character. She lies ON my lap, just sleeping and cuddling.
I am so glad that we didn't wait until tomorrow.
Just added this photo. She just ran, then whimpered, then hurried over to "Daddy", where she is now resting. So cute, she has never run to him for cover before :hug:
