A shelter ferret Crystal had an adrenal tumor removed around a mounth and a half ago. She started to grow back her hair but all of a sudden all the symtoms of another adrenal tumor appear. Any suggestions on what I should do? Vet realy wants to do the lets wait and see thing. Any one out there have a paralyzed ferret? We just got a ferret that has no control of his back legs. He jumped off his cage and broke his back. I have a hard time believing that. Mine jumps off the third floor of my sisters condo and does not even get a scratch. Do ferrets with broken backs have any special health needs? He seems to be okay besides that. More bad news and a warning. We got a ferret in tuesday, the people washed him with a dog flea shampo. He is ALIVE, BUT BARELY. He has been in intensive care since tuesday evening but should be out today or tomorrow. This is a very expensive vet bill that never should have happend to begin with. So please remember only use kitten safe flea shampo or spray. I hate to see things like this happen to any animal. I hope you all have a safe and ferret filled weekend. My guys and I will be moving. I've had my ferrets for around two years and my land lord finaly saw one and gave me a whole ten days to move out. They are exotic animals that bite and kill any thing that moves. I guess the pit bull that lives in the appartment next to mine is in danger of being eaten by a carpet shark. Sorry if I seem a little bitter but it took two days and around thirty interviews to find a place that would even think about letting me in with these exotic four legged balls of fun. I wonder, can a ferret carry a triple dresser or will he just eat it. :0 :) Does any one out there have any fun stories. I could use a laugh or two about now.
