Subject: [ferrethealth] hairball Update and pumpkin use

I am so sorry for you loss!! Without signs of thin stool and straining to go it would be a hard thing to diagnose. I don't know if it would show up on an x-ray.
That is a hard call to make, if they are really sick and may not make it through exploratory surgery, that would be a hard way to lose them.
I wanted to mention though, so it is clear to others trying to loosen a possible hairball, that pumkin is not the thing to use. Pumpkin binds the stool, to use occasionally in cases of diarhea. It is not to use with a ferret with a possible obstruction.
