Hi everyone!
Thank you all for the information and help regardinng the acl/knee surgery of my ferret. After the 1st vet I had to go find another new vet (the 1st experience was not appropriate vet etiquette). The new vet beleives my baby, Mischief, has a loose patella that aggrevated her ACL. With some rest (not surgery) she will be fine (and maybe need some arthritis medicine when she gets older). Mischief has improved greatly from last Thurs and is walking with only a slight limp (although she is still not climbing). Mischief goes in for a check-up on Fri and to get her shots since the vet had run out.
Thank you all for your great advice and information. I am glad there is a place to turn when one is unsure.
Thanks,
Dawn & the 4 Furrets
