Subject: [ferrethealth] Low cost ferret spay, Salem, va???
To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com

Does anyone know of a place that will do low cost ferret spays within an hour drive of Salem Virginia?

We just rescued a whole female from a really bad situation and she needs to be spayed ASAP.. [Vet's name removed per FHL Rules] actually told me to breed her.. Every vet that I've tried near by wants $200-$300.

Thanks.
Maria

[Moderator's Note:
There is probably some communication problem.
The vet was probably pointing out that an unspayed
female who is in heat is at risk of developing
fatal anemia.

There are meds that can help bring an unspayed
female out of heat but some can be hard to get.
If someone prepares Lupron locally -- which
keeps down cost -- it is possible to delay by giving
monthly Lupron shots while you seek a vet.

See also, if there is a vet school nearby because
if it is okay for the ferret to be used to help train
vet students you may save money.]
