Hello Before I give you an update on Taz I just wanted to thank all of you for your help and suggestions. I would reply to you all individually but since it would just be repeating myself from this email please accept this as a reply. Taz's operation went well. His 'tumour' turned out to be a huge hair ball the size of a cocktail saussage that was blocked in his intestine. The vet has never seen anything that size before! He kept it and showed it to us. It was huge! He does have hepatitis. A biopsy was performed on his liver to see if he had hepatitis before or if it is due to the blockage. We will know more in a few days time and what treatment we will have to give. We saw Taz last night. He was still sleepy but opened his eyes and tried to move a bit when he saw us. He had to stay there over night and we will be able to take him home this evening. Thank you all again for your support. This was our first big ferret problem (Luna had an abcess on her heat that has come back twice but that doesn't take long to treat and she comes home immediately).
