My experience has been terrible. One surgery, one ferret at the
bridge. :-( My vet told me that he'd done 8 surgery's and all 8 had
lived. My baby was the 9th. She came through the surgery fine, but got
cold afterward and I just couldn't get her warm enough again. I don't
know how old she was, because she was a rescue. The vet said 3-4 years
and the local shelter (who saw her after she died) said closer to seven.
