Subject: Re: want to adopt a 3 year old ferret in am
Usualy a tumor or such will have been taking care of by the shelter which is
why they need a donation you do not know what else is wrong . It is a
gamble, but if you purchased one you would not know what would happen but if
you do not have the money in the event there are problems I would pass, also
call your vet for the surgery and blood tests and erays could cost 200-500
or possible more if they find more. Just a thought hope I helped
