Dear Kelly: >My only other question is why the weight gain?

I don't know exactly how much but I would estimate 1/2lb maybe? >She seems fine but I worry so much! Some ferrets really can put on the weight after surgery - a highly digestible diet and lots of it, and a realatively sedentary lifestyle for a while as they rest up and recuperate. I wouldn't worry about this weight gain. It's so much better than having them drop weight..... With kindest regards, Bruce Williams, DVM [Posted in FML issue 3319]
