Pregnant jill bleeding!

[Taff70 0]

Hi Folks,

I've just checked my Jill and she is bleeding, she is due to give birth next weekend. Has anyone else experienced this? Have you any advice? I'm probably going to take her to the vet tomorrow.

Many Thanks

Andy

Hi there,

She is now abit sluggish, not her usual self. This morning she was eating and carrying food into her nest box.

Ive done a few phone calls to friends and all seam to agree with my thoughts if you are sure your dates are right then she is just having a early labour ,look us girls arnt good at time keeping but i would just keep a eye on her.I had both my children 5 & 6 weeks early

Well done sue, good advice given and not a mention of rushing to the vets

Id have to dis-agree there bob, one of my polecat jills, started bleeding and had a litter of six (1 dead) within a matter of hours, yet it was a week early by my dates,

if the jill and hob are left together longer than a day (mine are) then when do you take a date from, when paired,when seperated, or on sighting a mating?, this could be more of us making a mistake, than the ferret birthing early

if its a human error on dates then its nothing to worry about if its not human error ????????????????????

I think you can only guess a date if the ferrets are left together for more than a day or two , seeing the actual mating does help i suppose , but i always generally used up to the 44th day

If nothing happened after a couple of hours i'd take her to the vets
