I think I have posted about choking ferrets before. Today I was reminded yet again about the importance of knowing what to do if your ferret is choking. Today our youngest ferret presented with what seemed like a vomiting episode. As I was watching her close (as I always do if I hear vomiting) I noticed she was starting to wheeze and look faint in between retching. As soon as I recognized it was something that must be lodged deep in her throat I held her along her stomach, flipped her so her nose is pointed towards the floor/tail towards the ceiling, and have her 5 good pats on the back. As soon as I set her down afterwards she looked up at me alert, responsive, breathing fine and acting like she didn't just scare the bejesus out of me. If anyone has any other methods of dealing with choking ferrets, please share. Additionally, if anyone has any resources on animal CPR (small animal, cat, or dog) I would love to learn more about that as well. Take care, Andrea Moncada [Posted in FML 8179]
