Subject: Re: [Ferret-Health-list] Ferret ate bedding and died
Are you sure he died from a blockage? If the vet didn't feel
anything or x-rays didnt' show anything etc. You said he was
going to the bathroom, which doesn't sound like a blockage.

Tuggy was fine on Saturday morning. When I went in to fill
up their
food dish Saturday night he wouldn't get up. I sat on
Saturday night
and Sunday night finger feeding him water and food and
heating up a
hot water bottle for him. On Sunday I spent 12 hours at the
emergency clinic. They were up front about not knowing how
to treat
a ferret, but I couldn't get to my vet until Monday. I told
them
about eating cloth and they poked around and said they did
not
believe there was a blockage. He was going to the bathroom
still at
this point. I was at my vet at 9 a.m. Monday morning. I
spent over
$700 dollars. We did not neglect him. We have no small
objects
around. We have no children, no children's toys. I don't
know why
he/they chew their bedding. We nursed our 9 year old ferret
for 2
years who suffered from insolunoma. Tuggie was our baby we
did not
neglect him.
