wullieh 53 Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Was talking to a woman today who was at her vet wanting to get her jill spayed but her vet told her the only options are at the moment is the jill jab or the hormone replacement chip as will no longer spey due to risk of adrenal disease, the implant only lasts between 18mths and 2 yrs and costs almost the same as getting the ferret spayed , i think the vet just trying to make money. if this is going to be the way forward for vets then just think in a couple of yrs there going to be alot more unwanted kits due to folk breeding just to take jill out of season. told her that she can use my vas hobs if needed.but plans to get one her self.
