To Jennifer Sheriff: Having just gone thru a terrible experience similar to yours myself, my recommendation is.....TAKE THIS FERRET TO A VET IMMEDIATELY. Any time a full grown adult steps on an animal that weighs approximately 2 - 3 lbs, major internal damage could be done. Bladders, spleens, stomachs, intestines, can rupture. My recommendation is an x-ray - a barium x-ray to be more specific. In February, I lost my Angel to such an accident - and although she lived thru the weekend eating and passing normal stool, her stomach had a hole in it that was plugged by a loop of intestine - which is why she lived as long as she did - when the loop of intestine came out, the stomach contents spilled into the abdomen causing peritonitis/septisemia. So don't mess around with something like this - get to a vet ASAP. Debbie Riccio WNYFLFA Rochester, NY [Posted in FML issue 1516]
