Hi everyone,
 
I have a really odd question that I hope someone can help me with.  I have a
1 1/2 year old siamese ferret named Rikkitikkitavi that was neutered but not
descented when I got him.  I took him to a local vet in town to have him
descented (after he got me 4 times when I was trying to repromand him for
digging in the sofa).  He had all sorts of trouble post
surgery...infection..swelling...contrictions...It was a nightmare.  I ended
up seeing antoher vet when the first one wasn't helping me to my (and
Rikki's) satisfaction.  I really regretted having the surgery done.
 
Anyway...this was done in Dec of 1996.  Today I was bathing the critters.  I
let Rikki back in his cage after the bath and within seconds there was the
scent gland smell again!!  I couldn't believe it.
 
Is it possible that the Vet missed a part of it?  Does/can it regrow?  The
only other possibility is that the nurse told me the vet accidentaly
ruptured one while he was trying to remove it...I wonder if he got it out at
all?
 
I just want to know if this is possible before I truck back to the vet angry
about a botched surgery...
 
TIA,
 
Kat
