well this is my first post to the group, but have been reading fml for a
while.....
 
my little girl jimmy was only 10 months old, she never did get into much
trouble, she was great!  but the other day she was acting sluggish, never
seeing this before i rushed her to the vet.... the vet said she had three
little ojects that look like pills. or round.... she said since she is
lethargic, she would not operate as it might kill her, so for the next 2
1/2 days they had her on fluids, me not knowing any better i let them do
this, she was becoming grave, so i called all around and found a good
ferret doctor, that was getting to leave his office but would like to see
her... so i call the other vet to get her ready to go, they put me on hold
for 10 minutes, then came on and said sorry, jimmy passed five minutes
ago!!!!..
 
i am so distraught...... didnt even get to say good bye or get her good
help... well this all said.  if something like this happens, next time, i
am going to take them to a ferret specific vet or one that knows more..
but any other suggestions, i have my room, pretty much ferrfet proofed,
but if this would happen again do i demand surgery?  or is there soemthing
i could have given her to help her pass it out?
 
please feel free to email me directly or to the group, thanks.
