I had a 4 year old ferret that had his spleen removed. It was the
size of a bratwurst and needed to be removed. A fall off the couch
could have made it rupture and Slick would have bled out.

He was with us another year and a half. He also had insulinoma.

He recovered very well after the surgery. He looked a lot skinnier
afterwards. He could move better as well.

Have this new vet test for thyroid levels as well. Hypothyroidism can
lead to tiredness as well as a sparse, brittle coat.

Make sure you let the new vet know you are on a limited budget. Most
vets will work with you as long as arrangements are made.

Let us know how it goes.
