Ferret vasectomy...

[skycat 6,174]

I have finally found a vet in Anglia who does vasectomies on ferrets.and they quoted me £74!

At that price I'll have to think again: has anyone found a vet who will do it cheaper, and within 100 mile radius of Cambridge?

my dad just got his two jills done at cromwell vets in huntingdon not sure on price but will find out but i know its cheaper than that

[gnipper 6,546]

I don't think he got his Jills vasectomised mate

Vasectomies at any vets on the Ferret Welfare list came to about the same: around the £70 mark. Cheapest was in Cambridge: that surprised me: but its still a lot of dosh at £65, or am I just behind the times?

One vet on the list said he wouldn't do vasectomies: he preferred to castrate the hobs and jill jab the females: I WONDER WHY!! ££££

[Guest Magwitch]

Hi guys, first post but thought I'd jump in here.

It is a disgrace the prices they charge for this type of thing. I work with animals (mice and rats) in research and do Vasectomies on these regularly. The procedure takes all of 3 - 4 minutes from the time you put the animal under to the time you bring the animal back round. Once a vet is qualified it is just a licence to print money me thinks.

my vets charge 40 quid for a vasectomy and 35 for a castrate which i dont think is to bad

 

Welcome to the forum by the way , enjoy

Some ferret rescues let you leave your jills with them so there hob can bring your jills out

just for a donation mate.( and the money is towards them looking after all the ferrets)

the one at harrold hill in essex does.
