Hi all
Koda had his insulinoma surgery yesterday and we brought him home yesterday afternoon. seed good was sleeping a lot but thats normal. We left for a few hours and he had pulled out several of his stiches We had to take him to the emergency room to have it restiched up We have never had a ferret chew at stiches before all of them have left them alone The emergency room vets made a collor for him made out of xray file and was taped on we also put on a make shift t-shirt to try and keep him from chewing however he was left alone for about 10 min. and was able to get both off and start at his stiches again does anyone know where I can get an E-collor that is ferret size? do they make them? Can I make somthing he can't get off? I've been through 5 other surgeries and have never had a ferret chew so I am really at a loss what to do I won't be albe to watch him every second I have to sleep sometime and we are very worried what will happen tonight when we go to be
any ideas at all would be helpful
