Matan, I've had jills come back into season just a couple of weeks after delivery of a litter. It doesn't seem to matter if it a large or small litter (one had 7 kits while a couple others had 3 or 4). All but one of the the times the jill swelled and looked to be coming back in season but then just when I thought it was time to put them with my V-hob - the swelling started to go down on it's own. So keep and eye on her, she should be fine for 2-3 weeks even in season. If the swelling does NOT start to go down, then make arrangements with your vet for the hormone shot. (You might want to contact him now incase he has to special order the drug) The older the kits are the better since if they are nursing they will get the drug into their system also. My vet recommended waiting until they were at least 4 weeks before I gave her a hormone shot. Since I start them on "Bob Church's Chicken Gravy" at 3.5 weeks they then start to taper off on the nursing as much. Hope the kits are doing well. I have 3 litters right now ranging from 4 - 7 weeks and have 3 more jills due this weekend. Been making the Chicken gravy in double batches. :>) You can check out the my litters and progress of the ones due this weekend on Heart of Ohio Ferret Assoc. (HOFA's) website listed under the kits available. Scarlett Gray, Scarlett's Happy Dookers Heart of Ohio Ferret Assoc. & Rescue Show Coordinator, Ferret Buckeye Bash 2001 [Posted in FML issue 3401]
