Is it usual for a vet to charge more to spay a female that has already started coming in to heat? Also what can I do to make her leave her stitches alone? Bitter Apple? She has already chewed a spot next to her stitches raw. How long does it take after I have neutered my male till he stops mounting and biting my other ferrets? I sincerely appriecate any advice.
