Hello all- I made a post earlier on a new guy I got from the petstore and how he was sick immediately after.
He has a corneal ulcer and ECE. They are doing bloodwork and that will wait for a callback. He had mites and parasites.
So- I think we can doll him up. We are waiting to make sure his bloodwork’s are good though like adrenal function, liver etc before we make a final decision.
Thinks are looking good though
We just bought a ferret and we adore him.
We bought him from a petstore it’s been less than a week. Since we got him he has had one eye that gunks.he is 9 weeks old supposedly had all shots (sold from petstore) and checked for FHV. He drinks, has loads of energy, eats well. Comes out to play four times a day in half hour 45 min intervals.
When we got him he was kept with a cedar hide. He no longer has that- only has fleece bedding and hammock and ferret safe toys.
I have a video of his eye and I’ll try to get a photo as well.
I keep trying to research about his eye and it said the eye can be very serious sign of illness. It also says it can be pink eye.
Is this a return the ferret scenario I still have 25 days to return. I don’t want to take on a pet that’s already critically ill at 9 weeks old when I purchased him I was told he was in good health.
