My 6 year old dark eyed white female had what seemed to be an uncomplicated insulinoma surgery this morning. But she is having a very bad time with her blood not clotting. There is a pressure bandage around her abdomen, and as soon as it is pulled slightly away, you can see the blood start to flow. They've already had her back in to surgery to see if it's coming from anywhere that they can see... I'm a little rattled right now, but I think my vet said they left some sterile gauze inside to put pressure on things. She has already had one transfusion from one of my other ferrets, and I have two others staying at the vet's office at the ready in case she needs more. Sunny has been given a Vitamin K shot. But I've read basically nothing about this kind of problem in ferrets. Can anyone share a similar experience or help? I did a quick look in the archives but didn't find much. But I don't want to tie up my phone line for long in case my vet calls, so I didn't look very hard. Ironically, I posted a little while back about a web site that mentioned you can give cat or dog blood to ferrets needing transfusions. No one replied, but I've followed up with the vet hospital who host the article, and it turns out that they got the article from a third party and they think the info is incorrect. They've already changed it... Just wanted to clear that up in case anyone was wondering. If anyone has any advice for what to do for Sunny, I'd appreciate it. -Pam S. [Posted in FML issue 2990]
