  Is my ferret's surgery safe

In my practice, one of the most common questions asked when a ferret needs surgery is, "Is it safe?"  This is a very important question that should be asked. Before it is possible to answer this question, we must clarify and qualify several different aspects of ferret surgeries.

NOTICE

Much of the information presented in this website was written by people with experience caring for ferrets, but unless specifically stated in the article, they are not veterinarians.

Ferrets that are sick should be seen by a qualified and experienced "ferret vet" immediately.   Ferrets often don't display signs of illness until it has become very serious and they can go downhill very fast.  Don't wait for answers from this web site or try any "home remedies" even if they are listed here.  Inappropriate treatment and "do-it-yourself" diagnosis can be life threatening to your ferret.
