victor 10 Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) dont warrty about that, i read it and it's a stupid thing to say, sorry. Edited January 31, 2009 by victor Quote Link to post
Kay 3,709 Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Its very probably infected now, think about the location of the wounds, the stomach, its pretty low to the ground on a ferret, so its bound to pick up all sorts of crap Quote Link to post
John-B 4 Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Rabbits have been known to bite aswell. Quote Link to post
fox hunter 53 Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 i think a rat may have bit your ferret had the same problem meself you may put a mussel on the ferret to stop it from bittinng itself atb fox hunter Quote Link to post
moses 5 Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 try plastering the wound in sudacream will draw out any infection can be bought from any supermarket or chemist Quote Link to post
