chilly 59 Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 i now i am really gutted . there were no problems with the hob at all before the op he was in perfect health as far as i was concerned, the only reason i wanted him to have the op was so that he could service the jills and live with them permanently i am prity sure that who ever i repeatedly spoke to on the phone simply treated the vasectomy by the same rules as a castration and thats y they only quoted me 39 quid and said 6 months , what a f**k up the vet that i delt with after the op seemed to now there was a f**k up 2 , he said him self that he would normaly wait for the testicals to be descended , Quote Link to post
northern lad 2,292 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Gutted for you pal,seemed a nice hob too,Ive kept ferrets for over 20 years ,and to be honest vets dont seem to have any more clue now than they did back then.I tried to get my hob vasectomised earlier this year,my vet refused to do it as she had never done one before and "its very easy to cut the wrong thing",which I accepted as a fair and honest answer and looked elsewhere,after ringing many vets in manchester I was still drawing a blank.fortunatly Diggermad gave me the use of his vas hob to bring the jills out of season.If there is anything positive to be gained from current trend for keeping "pet" ferrets it will be that more vets will see,handle and treat more of them and consequently the treatment available will only improve give the vet a kick in the balls for me ATB Dave Quote Link to post
chilly 59 Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 lol i shal give him 2 kicks mate lol i honestly think that if i had spoken to that male vet first this wouldnt have happened , he made it quite clear that he had succesfully done the op a number of times and only when the balls were distended . is it to late to find a litter of young kits this year ? if i get another i dont want any thing older , will only ever get baby kits in future as i had this one so tame and playfull that way Quote Link to post

ferretville 69 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Thats a shame looked a tame little fella and might of become a decent worker . Theres some shoddy vets out there and unfortunately you have had to deal with one of them . Hopefully this will never happen to you again . Quote Link to post

moxy 617 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Get in touch with watchdog, they havent done a piece on vets for a long while so im sure they may be keen, name and shame. I know it wont bring your ferret back and im sorry for your loss but it could possibly stop them from doing it to somebody else. If not for thier incompitence and actions leading to of an animal they clearly shouldnt have been doing anything to but for the shafting you over regarding the price. atb Quote Link to post
stroller 341 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 put your complaint in writing to the head vet, and then threaten to take it to the Royal college of veterinary Surgeons. They have dealt with this situation stupidly. Their mistake from the word go and are taking you for a muppet Quote Link to post
ratter ron 0 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 it might have been the anaesthetic if they used the wrong one it would kill a ferret Quote Link to post
Big_Al 5 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I've got a Jill that's due soon. If you want a kit you can have one as soon as there ready mate? Quote Link to post
