Hello all, hugs to all the fuzzies. I just wanted to post an update
on Ruby. Back in the fall I had posted about Ruby who was just about
a year and who had a swollen vulva. I posted here and told the vet of
the possibilities of adrenal or a botched spay. He didn't think it was
either. He gave me some antibiotics which didn't work. A few weeks
later she had puss coming from that area. Again he gave me medicine and
that did't work. He then did an exploritory and found she had a botched
spay...a piece of ovary was still there and she had a walnut size
infection on her uterine stump. She is a very small ferret and had a
critical 72 hours but she pulled through and wanted to run when she came
home..but had to keep her still for 2 weeks..not easy. Her vulva is just
about back to normal. I had gotten her from Petco. I called them and
they have been using pathvalley farms. Petco also told me I should have
some sort of certificate that I would send to the company. I told her I
had gotten 5 ferrets from there and never got anything but my reciept,
she wasn't to thrilled to here that. They got me intouch with a company
that pathvalley deals with and they paid for the surgery, and they were
very nice. I really like my vet and he seems to know so much, but he
didn't want to listen to me and I was right all along. Oh well, just
so happy she is happy and healthy now.
Take care all
Fuzzy hugs
Lisa and the girls
