I received a call today from a shelter mom who had an experienced
ferret vet (also experienced in ferret spay/neuter) lose the 2nd
ferret from the major rescue today. the first was a young male just
going into rut and the 2nd was a young jill about 2 months younger
than the hob. I was told the vet uses iso and does give them a shot
for pain - she was not completely clear if it was before or after, but
she left me with the impression it was before. I was told the vet was
interested in the protocol for other spay/neuters, so I am asking. My
vet never mentioned pain meds for mine and I have not heard of anyone
else using them. SO, is it the pain meds that may be interacting with
the gas?
Necropsy of the first ferret found NO abnormalities in the anatomy of
physiology. Blood panel was normal, I am told. I do not have the
results of the 2nd necropsy. Don't know if ithas been done yet.
I am concerned as this vet is supposed to perform neuters and
spays for us next week and 9 of these are young ferrets. I feel
responsible for their welfare as they are here because of me and am
just wondering how red this flag should be. Please feel free to
contact me at crdowns at gmail dot com if you would prefer not to
discuss this on the list. Thank you.
