    weird bulge

    Thing, one of my parietalis females has a weird bulge at her vent



    it' even visible from above



    is this something I should worry about?
    she's acting normal
    the area does not appear to be sensitive

    It's not a hard bulge is it? I'm just thinking of Miriam's uric stone...

    no
    it's not hard and it doesn't seem to bother her when I put pressure on it
    the other female parietalis has it to a lesser extent and only on one side

    Well then, maybe those are just her "hips" as Stefan says. LOL :-)

    Hmmm....not sure, has she always had this or did it just appear? I'd definitely keep on eye on it and if it gets irritating or gets worse, I'd see the vet about it.

    Looks like another vet visit, Rhea. That's not right.

    Re: weird bulge

    I showed it to Sean, who thought they were fat deposits
    hm
    Sammy's double chin . . .
    parietalis with love handles . . .
    it's a good thing, I've cut down on their food
    let that be a lesson to you motherly types
    there is such a thing as too much food
    I have been guilty of it
    and we're still recovering
