Subject: Re: [ferrethealth] 8 year old ferret- should I risk surgery?

My advice would be based on two things:

1. does she eat and drink on her own?
2. does she have the ability to move out of her own
way when she defecates/urinates?

If yes to both, I would do the surgery if she was my
ferret. But it's all a personal choice.
