Subject: [ferrethealth] Re: Ferret not using front legs
Well, we just got back from the third vet. She thinks his elbows are
both dislocated. She admitted she doesn't know much about ferrets so
she recommended a specialist about an hour away. We'll see what he
says.
I really hope he won't need surgery - I'm still in school and there's
no way I could afford it on one elbow, let alone two. I'm just
praying there is a simple, or at least affordable, option. I'm going
to just try to hold on until I see the specialist.
