Hi all,
I was wondering what people out there had to spend in order to take care
of surgeries for their ferrets last year. I feel lucky to know that I am
in an area where I pay some of the lowest surgery fees in the country,
but I still put out $1600 in surgeries/vet costs for my 7 personal
elderly ferrets last year. You might think that isn't anything really
(and it isn't compared to East Coast prices etc. ) but our shelter went
through about 40 ferrets last year and the total spent on vet bills for
the entire shelter was $1800.
I'd like to know Where you are; State/Province
How many ferrets needed surgery:
What you had to spend last year: rough estimate feel free to use < or >
I, and other shelters in the network are noticing that many Marshalls
ferrets that come in are needing adrenal by age 3, rather than the usual
4-5. Five of the eight adrenal surgeries that the shelter ferrets needed
were on ferrets just turning 3. Anyone else having this trend?
Ok.. here is my filled in questions:
Where you are; State/Province Emmett, Idaho vet in Boise, ID
How many ferrets needed surgery: 7
What you had to spend last year: rough estimate feel free to use < or >
$1600
Thanks everyone. I am just interested. I love facts and figures.
