Mike, the corrupted text is a german accent! Baerli is the name of my ferret :-)
Bjorn, Uli, Mary, Alicia, Sandy, Mike : thank you very, very much for your care.
I was reading a lot of material about heat in ferrets which says that female ferrets don't go out of heat by themselves.
The problems is : there are no vets, that I know, especialized in Ferrets here in Switzerland.
I don't speak german to talk to the vets. So I have to send all information to my husband and he deals with them.
I just showed those posts to my husband, he said tomorrow he will call some vets around and make a pressure.
He asked me to ask you one more thing to you guys: after the injection, how long time we have to wait to spay Baerli. We have an appointment on 15.03.05
We keep you informed!
THANKS for your kind attention!
Paty, Pikku Baerli and Markus
