Why does she need to be at minimal hormonal level for the surgery? My
vet was going to do it on the 6th, with her still very much in
heat--is there a danger? I'm sure your experience with intact ferrets
is greater than my vet's, so if you think I should do a shot before
the surgery, or a shot and then postpone the surgery, please tell me.
I did read that a noted ferret vet has no problem doing spays
mid-heat. But that's a noted ferret vet. Mine is less experienced. (He
is a ferret vet, the best and almost the only one I know of within a
few hundred miles. But not at all experienced with desexing, so I'd
like to minimize anything that can go wrong, especially those things
that he doesn't seem to know much about.)
