Default Exotic pet vet

Thanks for all the input everyone. We took him to the emergency vet and he just passed a little while ago.

blood test?

We take our hybrid cats to Pembroke Vetrinary Clinic, their good with them but I'm not sure about ferretts. I've seen animals that stop eating sometimes have a liver problem.

That is where we take them Dr. Gooding was not in today and Dr. Myers said if they are not better call and talk to Dr. Goodong in a few days. A blood test is going to be the next thing we will do but we really dont want to be casue they will have to subdue(sp) him out becasue ferrets are so fidgity(sp).

The best vet around here, hands down, is the Oaks in Smithfield. They can take any type of animal.

We have been giving him water and liquid food with a surenge(sp) to help keep him hydrated but he is still dehydrated we dont want to force him to drink to much.

theres a vet on cedar road in chesapeake me and my girl take all our ferrets to. VERY knowledgable(sp?) people with ferrets, and you can usually get them in quickly.
