New boy in the shelter, here 10 days.
Less than 2 years old
ADV- via United
Been in a cage here and was at the animal shelter (kitten room) since
Thanksgiving.
Supervised play time presents a young, happy ferret with no coordination
and very weak hind end control. Spinal examination presents no abnormal
skeletal problems, but x-rays need to be clearer, but will need to be
sedated (very happy young ferret here ;)
Can climb, jumb, etc., but seems to have neurological problems.
Any ideas for testing protocols? In the works: another spinal exam.
