Alice's bum

Poor old Alice has a prolapse. It was bleeding last night and when I checked earliertoday it looked like she had some clear discharge as well.
Dar soaked her in epsom salts earlier and she didn't seem to mind, and I picked up some prep h. And another BG tester. She's been losing a little weight and stumbling a bit, but she still eats and doesn't strain to poop. Her bum has always stuck out a bit but this is a prolapse. My baby will be 6 in Dec and she's never had any health issues. I'll let you know what the BG is. We have pred on hand, but she may go to the vet. Idk what the discharge could be. I'm thinkin if she's bleeding when I check her I'll try bum blood so I don't have to lance her.
Right before our vacation...

How is Alice doing today?
I wonder if the clear discharge could be plasma (from the blood). I know that sometimes when I cut myself, it will bleed for a bit, but then there is clear plasma type of stuff after the blood starts coagulating.

I was thinking lymph. Talked to our vet when she called back about Lupron and she said it could be colitis, so if it lasts till Friday we will probably take her in. This vet always gets back to me. We started Allie on pred. Didn't make it a year without that BID ritual.

The vet called again last night and said try a little pepto or kaopectate for the diarrhea, but her poops are looking better. If the prolapse persists we'll have to take her in next week. The vet says they'd need to do a biopsy to determine what if any bacteria is causing her problem. She said she couldn't imagine one of my ferrets having intestinal parasites. Alice never goes out but it's always possible something got dragged in on our shoes.
