Hey,

I'm new here. I was wondering how normal it is for a ferret to not be able=

to keep anything down after adrenal surgery. He had surgery on Thursday
morning. I brought him home yesterday. He was fine all day yesterday,
though not eating a whole lot. This morning he started vomiting, and hasn'=
t
really been able to keep anything down. Of course he hasn't ate a whole lo=
t
either. He won't eat much of anything. He does drink a lot of water,
though, when I scruff him to try to give him his medicine, his skin takes a=

little while to go back to his original shape. =

I did get some medication from the vet this moring that was supposed to hel=
p
calm his stomach, but he's still not eating much and not able to keep down
what he is eating. =

What should I do?

Robin
