Update 2: Ham no longer likes us
Brought Zippy to the vet today. Found out he is actually a she (which I suspected). Unfortunately last night when I moved her to a small enclosure for transport I noticed her "bits" were very red, and found a tiny bit of blood.
The vet examined her and the blood thing was still happening. Otherwise she looks good. We're hoping it's an infection, and have 2 weeks of antibiotics, critical care and a few days of antiinflammatories. The differential is kinda crappy and includes pyometra, stones, UTI or cancer. 😞
Due to her recently elusive nature she has to stay in her small enclosure for a bit so we can get the meds into her twice a day.
Hopefully things will get better from here.
PS this sucks 😭
