As you probably all know by now, I've got an 18-mo.-old going for an abdominal exploratory. We believe Mandie has adrenal, based on fur loss, increased aggressive behavior, obsessive licking, and ear-sucking. Her surgery will be on May 24th. If there isn't any complications, how long do you keep an individual that has had such a surgery separated from its group (in a small cage by itself) and not allowed out-of-cage playtime? How long do you wait before listing such a ferret available for adoption, or have you ever? I would value a glimpse into your experience; this is my first ferret surgery. Thank you!
