to: Jack Walsh <> Subject: Broken leg Way back in 1990, I think, we took in a ferret that had been thrown against the wall and had its back leg broken in two places. The guy who did this spent two days on the phone looking for the "cheapest vet" to take the ferret. As it turned out, it was my vet and since the guy didn't want the ferret anymore, as a rescue, we retrieved it after the operation. The breaker did pay $200.00 to get the ferret's leg pinned. We did physical therapy and the ferret went on to be adopted out and was normal for all purposes which ferrets need to get involved. The pin was never removed.
