Ubu has been officially diagnosed via X-ray with a pretty large
object in his stomach. The vet would like to take a conservative
approach with Metoclopramide and laxative to see what happens in
the
next several days since he is still eating and pooping although in
reduced amounts.
Has anyone had any luck passing an object with a conservative
approach? I was also curious how much people have paid for
surgical
removal.
If there is a visible foreign body, the best approach if the ferret
can wihstand surgery is surgical removal.
