As someone who lost a precious darling two weeks ago to a ruptured bowel, I suggest they may want to look around for a blockage. If the ferret is otherwise strong enough to survive the surgery, I would do it. If I had caught it earlier, my baby might still be with me. Now I suppose I'm super concerned when I see the vomiting and some diarreah. I'll be thinking of your little one and hope things go well. Julie [Posted in FML issue 2341]
