Which brings up the question for me... why do exploratory surgery if the ferret is feeling fine? I know that if it is something operable (like a blockage), it needs to be operated on, but reading emails here and on the FML, exploratory surgery much more often goes the other way - where they never wake up.

I don't know... It's a dilemna I hope never to be in, but it is something that I often wonder on - how many exploratories on "otherwise healthy" ferrets (i.e. eating, drinking, pooping, peeing, playing) end with the ferret crossing the rainbow bridge? Anyone willing to share their personal experiences on this? Any vets or vet techs willing to comment?
