vasectomised hob

[bushart 1]

took one of my hob ferrets to the vets on tuesday to have him vasectomised i have got to take him back today for a check up. Vets said it would take 7-8 weeks for him to be unfertile. Then i can use him to take my jills out of season he'll think all of his birthdays have come at once this year. The total cost of getting him done was £60.

It can sometimes take up to 12wks .....I would'nt put him with the jills till the end of June.

Got my lad done last year, he went on to father 3 litters Ill know this year if the 2nd operation has definately worked

my vet told me that charlie would need to be seen after 4 months to check he is firing blanks then leave him for another month then put him with the girls.

what a lucky boy he will be 2 girls all to himself.

That's me totally f****d then,i had my hob done early feb, the vet said 2 to 3 week's and he'd be firing blank's .I caught him servicing the jill this morning so i guess i'll be advertising kitts in a couple of month's.Anybody?

If they are going to test his sperm then you will be ok

A guy on here told me up to 12wks, his wife runs the North east ferret rescue, and have known it take up to 12wks.

Better safe than sorry imo

Ferrets are like blokes we both have a sperm bank that need to be emptied before we start firing blanks ,Thats why blokes have to give two samples after a snip before the doc gives you the all clear .As a few folks found out to there cost if you dont allow your hob enough time after the snip you get a surprising number of litters .Its best if you can plan it to get you hob done a year in advance then it should be okay.

I'm glad I read this post now, we had our boy done last week and the vet said to us that we should be able to use him in 3-4 weeks, they didn't ask us to take him back for his little men checking at all

 

Thankfully we have two jill's that have been jabbed and two pregnant so we have time to wait before we use him, I hate to think how many young we would have had if we'd have taken the vets word and used the newly ves. male and not decided to jab
