Jill Jab

[Beastmaster1980 40]

Hello, has anyone ever given their ferrets the "Jill Jab" and what are their opinions/experiences of it? Any side effects etc as i am thinking of getting my 2 Jills jabbed for their first season then getting a vasectomised hob & do it the natural way from then on. Thanks, Rich

The only side effects i know off is phantom preg but you will get that with a Vas hob too,

did hear of a jill taken a bad reaction to the jab but think the person was telling porky's as they were a known story teller.

 

But nice to see you looking after the ferrets welfare and not letting them stay in season.

Had my Jills done a few times with no ill effects the only one im aware of is small lumps at the injection site but i have never seen this with any of my own or any others i have seen, well done for looking in to it.

Same here ive heard you get hard lumps forming under the injection site with repeated use

I did hear some stories of jills reacting badly to the jill jab .

But I think it was down to the vet not wieghing the jill or at least not estimating its wieght and just giving it the full dose .

The size of the dose, I believe, is measured according to the wieght of the animal .
