My other vet called me this morning. She will be opening her own practice at the end of this month, so for the moment she is working for another clinic who primarily works on farm animals. Well bless them. The called and said that Dr. Deb could do the surgery there and it would only cost 125.00 That is absolutely the lowest price ever and I will be forever grateful for these angels who really aren't even ferret folks. Dr. Deb, my new vet, did the surgery and she has a great love for ferrets. Prince is out of surgery and doing well so far. She also cleaned his teeth while she was in. His liver looked a little funny, so she took a little piece of it too. My old vet has compeletly disgusted me, but it worked out for the best since I found an even better one. I feel like a great wieght has been taken off my shoulders. Yesterday the biggest sorrow I had was that a ferret was suffering because of greed of my old vet. So many wrote me with words of wisdom. I can't thank you all enough. What wonderous folks ferret people are.
