Hi Tiffany,
>From your description, I suspect your vet is actually
getting the blood from the anterior vena cava! This is a
very quick and easy way to get blood from a ferret. For
me, this is much easier than using the jugular vein. It is
how I collect blood. Yes, even from my own ferrets.
Hope that helps,
Jerry Murray, DVM
