Thanks to everyones advice on Pupper. He was seen today and the vet said h=
is root is exposed he said I had 3 options hopefully you can help me make t=
he correct one. First we could do nothing and see if the cavity closed its=
elf. Second they could pull the tooth, but he said after surgery would be =
painful. Third root canal this is what I thought I should do. He put Puppe=
r on clavamox twice a day. Now I dont want to name names however the place=
that only does ferrets does surgery on tuesdays and fridays only. He did =
post bloodwork I am waiting for results. The other place can not take him =
until friday so I was told to take him on monday to the ER and they should =
keep him overnight and most likely be seen by the ferret Dr. on Tuesday and=
surgery should be done that day. I dont like not having a sure agenda se=
t up but do you think I should go with this. He is eating but not his happ=
y self any ideas how to make him more comfortable would be greatly apprecia=
ted. The vet also said his spleen is enlarged but that he sees this in 50%=
of the ferrets he sees, he said not to worry he will check it again on his=
next checkup. He said an enlarged spleen is nonspecific. Thanks you so m=
uch.
