https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/16190/abnormal-rat-spay I was kind of half joking about doing a rat spay next on another post, as it was something that was going to happen probably in the next few weeks and probably done by my boss but she came in today with a suspected prolapse instead! Spay went wellen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/96486?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 25 Aug 2013 09:34:05 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:c476de1d-8cfe-4f5c-a212-6d10c5451b10Busybee<p>Thanks for the reply Rachael. This rat does have a history of a haemorrhagic vulval discharge but the mass I removed seemed much more like tissue than clot. If I didn&#39;t know better, I&#39;d almost have said it was a mummified foetus! (No chance of this, but it was the right shape and tissue consistency).</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/96468?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 24 Aug 2013 15:04:34 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:0ee26177-3577-4ff4-b072-1995d1f47d59Rachael Winder<p>I still find the uterine horns hard to fine, always under a ridiculous amount of fat! I now work from the bladder back and makes it easier. I&#39;ve had several rats with dark lumpy areas, sometimes within the horns and sometimes almost loose in the lumen. Had a few to histo (I was convinced they were neoplastic) and apparently they were some sort of benign hypertrophic change. The name is now completely escaping me however! Never had one I could pull out of the vulva but some of those rats had clotted type haemorrhagic vulval discharges. Possibly&nbsp;be something similar?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
