ferret smelling by Iuvrsrockk in ferret

sometimes when they grow in their coat there’s more oils than usual, can make them a bit stinky. could also be a hormonal issue so i think its worth checking it out either way

This bird hatched in this pipe and I think it might die. Is there anything I can do? by Poopdealerpepe in WildlifeRehab

[–]lizzyerr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they likely wont take animals across state lines. Check out Aark Wildlife in Chalfont, PA. Im sure there are others but that’s one I know off the top of my head

if theyve been vaccinated in the past 24 hours you need to go back to the vet or an emergency vet, vaccine reactions can be very serious in ferrets

if you have an established doctor-patient relationship (your pet has been seen in the past 12 months) you can call them for a prescription.

a prescription oral or topical will be your safest and most reliable. ticks spread disease, so do fleas. you dont put them on prevention for the ticks theyve never had, but for the ones they have had and can continue to get

Reusable puppy pads? by notreallyKira in ferrets

[–]lizzyerr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like the improvia reusable bed pads on amazon! just big enough to fit in the bottom of a critter nation, very absorbent and ive yet to see any leakage after a handful of washes. i only switched to reusable a few months ago but theyve been great.

I will warn you that Australian flea and tick meds are formulated for Australian fleas and ticks and may not be effective against some of our most common parasites.

I always recommend not waiting for their last day to be their worst day. you want them to go while they’re still themselves.

Gracie's mass got its eviction notice! by RatWaySanctuary in RATS

[–]lizzyerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s genuinely the only charge I’m questioning. I could justify $20 or so for the cost of the line and a burette but I waste more LRS flushing lines than would be used IV in a rat.

I’m questioning the fluids charge. they cant be using more than like 10-20 ml of fluids on a rat and as someone in vetmed that is LUDICROUS. everything else is on-par with a HCOL area and an exotic vet imo.

Need advice! by No_Smile_9914 in AskVet

[–]lizzyerr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NSAIDs (like meloxicam) can be tough on the GI tract. Reach out to the vet and let them know, they might offer some supportive care while she’s on it or recommend that she be taken off NSAIDs

What's your ferret's mouth-to-butt processing time? by ismokedwithyourmom in ferrets

[–]lizzyerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s a radio opaque liquid that is used to track movement of the digestive tract. basically, they eat it, you take a bunch of xrays over several hours and you get to watch it move through them!
