Jaala had an intestinal blockage last week. Can you beleive it, she had eaten the ends off used cotton buds (used to clean ear wax out of ears) Yuck!!!! The vet which performed the surgery had never seen inside a ferret but thought that her pancreas was large in proportion to the rest of her organs. She was comparing it to cats and dogs and since it all looked perfectly healthy was not worried. I doubt it would be a reaction to the blockage and was wondering if anyone who knows their anatomy could tell me if the pancreas it normally large in comparison to the rest of their organs, (as compared to cats and dogs) or maybe someone could ask their vet for me. Thanks Maree and Jaala [Posted in FML issue 2357]
