Is this a case of OVARIAN CYSTS??

[Die Fledermaus]

A 40 month old unspayed GP, Lily. White with red eyes. Very sweet. I posted months ago how I rescued her and her neutered tankmate, Chip, and I included photos.

I thought she was shedding from the heat, or maybe getting fat. She has lost all the fur on her now bare belly, and is losing some on her lower flanks. This alopecia (fur loss) is symmetrical. Most noticeable, she has bulges on each of her sides right in front of the hips - they are about the size of a hen's egg, although obviously it is as if the egg is well inside her. She acts and eats normally in every way, and there is no apparent sensitivity in the region of those bulges.

I posted this elsewhere, I think, and was asked why I thought she had ovarian cysts.

So, what else could it be if not ovarian cysts??

BTW,

I even gave her acidopholus and vitamin dropos made for GPs, in case there was intestinal bloating. Pooping is normal. (?)

P.S. Don't anyone waste my time telling me to "take her to the vet". I expect to call the vet this week. I just want to be sure there is no other possibility, except ovarian cysts, lest they try to stick me with a battery of expensive (unneeded) tests.

Just asking, but...could it be a tumor? When Harriet had her tumor it was on her side too & she acted normal as well. Hope your vet calls you back.

It can not be a tumor as the bulges are symmetrical on both sides - and two tumors occuring at the same time of the same size is highly unlikely.
