Ascites or Fat?

[LydiaT]

Thanks for your help by the way

When she walks, does she walk like a chicken...or like a penguin?

 

[LydiaT]

She isn't standing like she's egg bound but she waddles a bit more than normal

 

[Alaskan]

Oh bother...waddling is not a good sign.

If it is truly ascites, then there isn't much you can do, except extend her life a bit.

Unless you want to take her to a vet, and see if antibiotics might help. It is possible that she has an infection that is causing the trouble.

Personally..... I would just keep a close eye on her, and make sure that she looks comfortable. Once she looked uncomfortable, I would put her down.

So sorry.

 

[LydiaT]

Ok, I'll keep an eye on her, thanks for your help

Is she acting sick?
Going off food/water, lethargic, etc.?

 

[LydiaT]

Sorry for the late response, she doesn't seem sick or lethargic and she is eating and drinking. She is acting normal
