john-aas410 1 Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Having taken the time to invest in a vescectomised hob last year to service my gills, I was a little concerned to see a swollen belly appear last week and suspected maybe a phantom pregnancy. Yeah right! I went out to feed the girls tonight to find myself the proud new carer for at least a litter of six, and probably another three litters on the way. After some swift DIY to get some nesting boxes in place and seperate the grumpy mum from the rest, fingers crossed for some healthy kitts. Lesson learned to say the least. ATB John Quote Link to post

ferrety f 23 Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 Holy crap.. did you buy him in supposedly done, or did you get him snipped ? Quote Link to post
john-aas410 1 Posted May 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 We supposedly got him done, through a "specialist ferret vet" as recommended through a local ferret rescue organisation. Be warned..... Quote Link to post

Sadly this seems to be a reoccurring problem ..... think your doing the right thing by keeping your jills out of season & end up with litters... its not very good Quote Link to post

wullieh 53 Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 go ask yourr vets what they did when doing the op some simply just cut tubes and others cut and tie/stitch them, your vet might be willing to redo the op but will prob want to charge you a fee to send part away to make sure it done right this will prob set you back about £50 Quote Link to post

bouncer 51 Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 i have heard a few people say now that their vets will send the piece they cut out, off to be tested to check if the op is done right.so i always think if it's not the right piece,what have they cut out. Quote Link to post
