TIMMAY 6 Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 had both my jills jabbed last week after arguing with the vet that they can be jabbed whilst in season for the last 2 months! Anyway they agreed to do it, but i'm worried that it hasn't worked, both gills are still swollen a week on, is this normal? I know what some of you are thinking, go to a new vet, well guess what, i've just moved to this one on recommendation after a number of problems with the last not treating my dogs appropriately! The money you pay you'd think you'd get a competent, helpful service! Quote Link to post
The one 8,483 Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Might take up to a fortnight for the swelling to go down 1 Quote Link to post
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 The vet I seen told me it would be safe to put them back with a hob (If I had one) after a week. Didnt mention the swelling. It takes a little while to swell up, so Im guessing it takes a while to go down.. Quote Link to post

Judging by some of the other threads, that's not too bad for 2 jills, but the receipt only has 1 ferret on it, so perhaps they made a mistake? My plan is to get a vasectomised hob done in time for next year, just make sure they don't castrate the fella! I'd much prefer this method due to cost, and not jabbing the jills with chemicals. not enough forward planning on my part this year to have one ready to go. And thanks for the other replies guys, put my mind at ease! Quote Link to post
iana 25 Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 3 jabs for mine was £60. im getting a hob of my mate(this years litter) and getting him vaced. £40 to have him done so save money in the long run. Quote Link to post
pie-eater 377 Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Crazy the price of jabs now. they were only £5 a time when I used to use them. Quote Link to post

A vac hob is the only way to go mine cost me £50 three years ago but saved that the first year with my 6 bitches and he has sorted them out each year since . They all come back into season after about a month so they have a return visit and then all seems OK Sam Quote Link to post

I hate this I have one that causes probs in the court for about a month and that is after she has been with the vac hob so while she is doing it I seperate her and the rest are quiet I then have probs trying to reintroduce her to the others.
