The one 8,511 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Only a vet can give you a qualified opinion on whats wrong with the ferret trying quack remedy's wont help your ferret mate i don't think there's anybody on here who has veterinarian qualifications to help you and I'm sure any vet will let you pay up any bill Quote Link to post

kristian 9 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 shooting it isnt really an option as its a much loved pet he doesnt work it Don't know why this tickled me think theres something wrong with me lol. How about the ferret rescue in newport maybe they can help? maybe worth a ring just to see if theres something they can do? He has to get it seen too even if it means giving it up! Not sure what the place is called but i could find out if you want? Good luck. Quote Link to post
