Do the vets here have any suggestions -- my vet can't seem to get blood
from Frankie? He tried a week ago and tonight he tried again with
anesthesia. It was scary because it was taking a long time and she got
cold and they brought her back to me half an hour later on a little heating
pad wrapped in a pillowcase. The vet was pretty strained, too, because
they've always managed to get blood before, especially once they resort to
anesthesia (which they've done before with a couple of my ferrets); both
this time and last week, he finally quit because it was just too hard on
her and him. They tried several different places. He finally got enough
for a blood chemistry (BUN, creatinine, etc.) but not enough for a CBC. He
didn't charge me for anesthesia. He recommends waiting a couple of months
before trying again to give her a chance to heal in case any of her veins
collapsed.
Gee whiz, what do I do? Frankie is the littlest one of my ferrets. She's
very sweet. What could be the problem here? Dr. Williams? Dr. Weiss?
Anyone else?
Thank you.
Linda and Frankie Doodle
