Subject: spleen surgery question
Hi, My newest little guy is a rescue ferret. He is a year and a half year
old, and was neglected in many ways. He only got fed, and watered once every
2 weeks, and out to play once every two weeks. When we went to pick him up,
we immediatly took him to the vet for a check up. He got his shots, and we
was told he was severly malnurished and dehydrated. We brought him home, and
2 days later, he got sick. So, off to the vets we go. He has been in the vet
now for 3 days, and still has 2 more days to go. He is on fluid shots 2 times
a day, and vitamin shots 2 times a day, as well as some meds. Anyways, i
called the vet today to check on him, and she said she noticed his spleen is
slightly enlarged. She said it may be sue to stress, and his lack of food and
such, and that it MIGHT go down, but she wants to monitor it from time to
time. My question is, how much does a spleen surgery normally cost? That way
i can go ahead and start saving, or bumming money off of family LOL. Thanks!
