>Last question: how do you keep them from tearing out their stitches? This >vet said that collars don't work well on ferrets. Do they????? Been through lots of ferret surgeries and I have never experienced a single ferret that paid any attention to their stitches. That doesn't mean that Fang won't, or others haven't, but I'd only worry about it if he does. I saw them put an elizabethan (sp?) collar on a ferret on Emergency Vets once, and the ferret didn't seem to initially mind, but I don't know how long he put up with it.
