I had to take one of my ferrets to the vets as I could feel a small lump on her neck, after a small operation this turned out to be the start of an abscess. My vet asked if I was willing to give her an injection every day or would I prefer to go back for each injection, I told him that I had done it before so he gave me a syringe and some antibiotic so that I can inject her with 1m every 24 hours. I find a lot of vets around in the UK insist on doing it them self, but my vet is great at allowing confident people to do it them self, plus it saves money. http://www.webspawner.com/users/ferretwelfare/index.html http://www.smartgroups.com/groups/house-ferrets http://www.geocities.com/houseferrets13uk/index.html http://groups.msn.com/UKHouseFerretsSmallPetsAssociation/home.html [Posted in FML issue 4097]
