Subject: [ferrethealth] Leg popped out of joint?
To: Ferret Health <ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com>
Hi everyone,
I had a scare with one of my newly adopted ferrets last night. He likes to dig in their water dishes, and he was doing that last night. Then he started to walk away from it, and I noticed that he was walking differently and got a better look at him. He was limping, and dragging his right front leg and it was twisted. I went to go get the carrier to bring him to the hosp, and in the seconds that it took me to do that, when I got back to him, it mustve "popped" back into place. He could walk on it and put pressure on it again. He's been fine since, running and playing as usual. But is this something that he should be seen for? Ive never had anything like this happen before, so I dont know if it was a fluke thing, or if it will happen again? I'm assumming it popped out of joint and then back in, as it all happened so fast. Any ideas or input is greatly appreciated!
Thanks much,
Andrea
