Just wanted to let everyone know that Misty is staying at the vet's tonight, to have surgery tomorrow morning to remove her uterus. Took her in for her eyes, and sure didn't expect this. The vet found a nasty vaginal discharge when she examined her, which I hadn't seen before, and thinks that her eyes are actually fine, that she is dehydrated and has dry tears that are making her fur wet. She thinks she is dehydrated and had probably been sick for a while.
Has anyone had anything like this happen before? The vet said this type of thing is uncommon and usually happens after they have given birth, but Petsmart sure didn't say that she had been bred. She suggested I call them and try to get them to pay for some of Misty's vet bills, which will be at least $200-300 dollars at this point.
Ironically I bought her new cage today, so if she makes it through the surgery and recovers okay, she will have a larger cage to move into.
Lesson learned, NEVER buying another pet from a pet store
