Subject: Re: Re: Limping
I recently returned from vacation and found one of my
ferrets to be limping. It almost went undetected.
She would kind of hop instead run.
I kept her in her cage for a week until I got an
appointment with my vet. I would let her out once in
awhile to play and she stopped limping all together.
When we finally got her to the vet the x-rays showed
that she had dislocated her elbow. She had surgery
and now has pins in her (poor thing). She has to stay
in her cage for 4 weeks and then the pins will be
removed.
If I haden't taken her for x-rays she whould have been
in serious trouble some day.
