whats happened with the ferret ,has he taken it anywhere where it can have treatment ,sounds like an abcess ,if he really carnt afford treatment for his animals wouldnt it be better to rehome some of them then he will have cash to treat the ones hes kept

Spot on Sue!

How is the ferret now? I also think you're dealing with an infection or an abcess. I've seen it before with a ferret which had a wooden splinter lodged in it's throat. My money is on that. Or perhaps a piece of bone? Of doesn't this ferret eat prey / boney meat.

 

Eatherway, I wouldn't wait much longer, the ferret I was talking about didn't make it. I wouldn't want the same thing to happen for this ferret...

Pdsa is your best bet if hes entitled they will see it as an emergency and provide basic emergency treatment till proof of entitlements gotten to them anyway.If not the blue cross quite often help people who have fallen on hard times with vet bills.The credit crunch is hitting everyone at the moment and i dont doubt he truely loves this animal but it does need seen and hopefully has been seen and is on the road to recovery

Hi mate

if your friend is out of work is there a P.D.S.A near you he wont have to pay just give a donation

this poor animal needs treatment NOW

I also find it very disturbing that anyone would contonplate shooting a ferret because it needs

vetanary help its this sort of talk that gets working ferreters a bad name with ferret rescue some places

for which i happen to be a local co ordinator for the ferret welfare society and am trying to

fight the corner of working ferreters this sort of cheap fix dont help our argument

 

I'm just being realistic if treatment can not / will not be got for an animal, i would rather see it shot than left to suffer.

so am i being realistic take it to the pdsa or a rescue centre or even the rspca one of these societys will not see it suffer either

this is 2009 if you have no money there are societys there to help your mate

we are all struggling with this recesion there is no need for any animal to suffer

i am fully aware what year it is.

as you can see from my previous post i say take it to the vet ,rescue ,etc.

but if he still wont do this then the animal will suffer a long slow agonizing death i would rather see an animal put to sleep than this happen.

anyhow from the lack of response from the poster this issue has been resolved on way or another and as long as the ferret is no longer suffering i don't care how

i only said shooting isnt an option because i know alot of people who would just shoot it and i was just saving people the time of sayin " shoot it"

 

and what my friend is doing is not of my choice or anything to do with me. im just saying this to cover my arse incase you lot think im like that as well because im not. thanks alot for your replys i havent had any news on the ferret involved because my friend is yet to return my calls.

 

thanks alot GWH
