Neresse's trip to the vet

In article ,
enlightened us with...
More word from the doctor.

He had ruled out kidney and liver dysfunction as well as cancer
(apparently there was concern), but her white cell counts are exceedingly
high - so he suspects pyrometra (sp?). Since she has no sign of
infectious discharge, he notes the possibility of a "closed" one.


I'd get her spayed ASAP. Even if the infection gets treated, it can
recur with a vengeance.

I hope she gets better soon...

Well, since you asked, she had produced some beautifully spotted
and marbled kittens in the past.... =^^=

Pretty's not everything -- in fact, in the Bengal breed it's
fourth in importance. First being temperament, second being good
structural and genetic health, third being good conformation (adhering
to the Bengal breed standard) and last being pretty patterning.
As well, there's a difference between pretty patterning and
*good* patterning. Are your spotteds horizontally flowed? Vertically
flowed? Randomly flowed? Do you have good contrast, size, and
acreage? Rosettes? Are your marbles tri-coloured? Do they have good
chaining? Do they have the bulls-eye pattern?

I'll have to dig up the research, as we got her from another breeder down
the road, but she's birthed at least one prize winner to my recollection.

Yes, please do. I'd love to know who sold inexperienced
breeders a girl with breeding rights without mentoring.
