Hi,
I would take him back in real soon. My last two ferrets Luci 5 1/2 and Beau 3
yrs. both had problems after their Adrenal gland surgerys. Luci died before I
could get to the Vet in time the, from internal bleeding a day and a half after
surgery. She wouldn't eat or drink and could barely move. She couldn't even
get up to use the litter box. Beau died a week to the to the hour of his surgery.
All of a sudden he quit eating would only drink and then late one night couldn't
move well. I layed awake all night with him on me when he died in his sleep
before I could get to the Vet. Internal bleeding also. Since then I found a new
Vet. As for the nose bleeds I don't know, with my two they bleed from the
other end. So I would go to the Vet. and have him checked out. Try calling
your Vet. and talking to him on the phone if he's not there today. Good luck
with your boy.
