We noticed Saturday that Shoops (our Male ferret who is about 10 years old) was straining to go potty but couldn't. This continued to get worse all night as he would move from spot to spot and try again. Over Sunday and yesterday he wouldn't eat but did drink some water. He just looked so sick I honestly didn't think he'd make it to today.
Our regular vet doesn't have Sunday hours so my sister tried desperately to find a vet who would see him and she would up calling 12 different vets but they either weren't in or didn't work with ferrets.
Then Monday at the vet clinic we use, the ferret doc wasn't in so he had an emergecy appt this morning. His adrenal(s) are very enlarged and it is affecting his prostate. He isn't in good enough health right now for surgery.
They are keeping him and giving him fluids and will try to get his strength up enough so he can withstand the surgery.
Vibes would be very appreciated.
Thanks for reading.
