There is very little blood; only enough to start me worrying! Please, feel free to PM me to tell me more! I kick myself for not mentioning her behavior, which has been really...normal. We took her to the vet a month ago, for what seemed to be just a minor cough/illness. They gave her antibiotics, and her symptoms have gone away completely. They did mention, however, that she was underweight (trust me, it's not for lack of food!!) We really tried to push food and water, spoiling her with fresh stuff, just to get her to eat...and it worked, for a while. She seemed to put on a healthy amount of weight. But when I first noticed the blood, I also noticed that she'd lost all of what she'd gained, and maybe more. Other than that, she's social, active, she's drinking and eating as much as she normally does (which probably isn't as much as she should, but is probably habit from when the "bossier" piggies were still around to hog most of the food ); I gave her a decent handful of carrots last night and they were ALL gone by this morning---all of which are good signs!!!

I really really really want to believe that it's minor. The only symptoms she seems to have is the bleeding and weight loss...but I don't want to get my hopes up again .

How much blood is there? Are you able to handle her and look to see where it is coming from? I'd explain how to look better to find out where but I guess that might be a bit too much to talk about on this forum? Ha I don't know...
Is she showing any signs of pain or discomfort?
Of course I would suggest taking her to the vet, but you've already said you can't. Is there any way you can take her and pay by installments?
