Hello all.  I am having a problem:(  I would of posted this on the health
list but I am having problems with recieving the digest.  So...
 
Would like to first give my prayers and hugs to all with lost, sick and
bridge babies......
 
I had posted back before Christmas of my ferret Ruby.  She had an
accident and lost movement in her back legs.  Since then she has
recovered..  but not 100%.  She seems to not really have control of her
bowel and blatter....I say this because she never gets close to a corner
or the litter.  She is at this time almost a year old.  I noticed a few
weeks ago that her vulva was swollen.  I made a vet appointment and
searched the archives on the subject.  I told him my findings of
missed/incomplete spay and adrenal.  He sent me home with amoxidrops and
it didn't do anything.  I went away for a week (just got back yesterday)
I had left my ferrets with them to watch.  He doesn't think its from a
missed/incomplete spay but does think it is a hormonal thing.  When i got
home i looked at her and not only is her vulva swollen but underneith and
around it is swollen too.  Besides the swelling everything else seems
normal.  I think she is to young for adrenal and he seems to think that
she is ok...knowing that if it was a missed/incomplete spay that she
could die from it.  He is a very good vet that see's all animals but I am
very concerned.  Is there any kind of testing that can be done..or should
I have him do exploritory surgery?  He hasn't suggested anything except
he thinks she will be ok.
 
Thanks for listening and any advice.
