Hi FMLers- Last July I posted about some "bloody Scabs" my ferret Dallas had. I took her to the vet a number of time regard them and the vet really didn't get too concerned. She told me to watch. So I watched them. (I checked the FAQ and got further information.) Last week I took both my ferrets Taylor and Dallas to the vet for their annual checkup. I again pointed out the small bloody pimples. They got slightly larger in addition there was only one in July now she had three. Both girls needed their teeth cleaned so I decided at the same time I would have the "pimples" removed and sent for tests. I really didn't want to have their teeth cleaned nor did I want to have the pimples removed but I have to trust my vet. Not to mention everything I read in the FAQ said removal is the best thing. Well the girls made it though everything - my little wiggle worms. I am concerned, and I did speak to the vet tech about this. Dallas the one who had the surgery is making a wheezing noise and a choking noise. I was up all night monitoring her and I plan on spending all day with her today. The vet tech said she probably has a sore throat from the incubation. She was under longer than Taylor because of the surgery. I also said she seemed a little dazed. She said it could take as long as 48 hours to see an improvement but there should be an improvement from when I picked her up yesterday. I believe there is but it is very hard to be objective about this things. While I am not ready to rush her back to the vet because I feel she is improving, slightly, and who else is a better observer of their own pet then me the pet owner. By the way Taylor seems to be doing okay. In any event I can't help but be concerned and feel that I need to cover all my resources. Can anyone tell me about their experiences with ferrets after surgery and incubation. Please e-mail directly at [log in to unmask] Thanks Gina [Posted in FML issue 2613]
