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.
