Jill jab / breeding.

[Ideation 8,217]

This year i have decided to breed my best and oldest jill, in order to keep back a kit or two myself to preserve the line, and to give a couple of new ferreters a decent first team. Thing is i have had her jabbed in the past to take her out of season. Anyone ever had any problems breeding from a jill thats been having the jab? Odd question i know, but this jill is worth more to me than. . . . . .well most things. . . . . but i'd also be gutted if i could not continue the line.

good question! im in the same boat, ive a jill that is the best worker ive had in all the years ive kept them, would be a total waste if i couldnt keep her blood line going because of using the jab.

I was thinking about that as well ,as somebody got there bitch jabbed and it really mucked up her seasons big time dont know if its the same stuff though ?. And somebody got there bitch jabbed after she got caught and she didn't abort all of the pups and had a couple of mutants

 

Think thats why i stick to my sni[pped hob for my ferrets

I found this on the noah compendium .. it dont look like like its a problem

 

Jills

Oestrus control

Delvosteron can be used to suppress or postpone heat in jills during the breeding season usually March to September. Following injection in jills showing prolonged oestrus (suppression) the signs will usually abate within 10–11 days. Injections given just before the onset of the breeding season (postponement) or during the breeding season (suppression or postponement) will usually maintain the jill in anoestrus for the remainder of the breeding season.

Get a good grip mate one hand on the head the other hand over the body i got my jills done once and it hurts they where screaming and if they could have i think they would have latched on

i might let the vet do it, the holding as i dont want her to accosiate me with being hurt....dont know anyone with a snipped hob in my area

There will be no problem breeding your jills, the jill-jab will take them off season for that year (ususlly, have had a few come on again just at the end of the breeding season), they seem to be a wee bit tender around the injection area, to be expected, but they come on again next year and are good to go.

Have had no problem getting kits from a jill I jagged the year before.

Have a cranky stinking hob here, f*****g really bad tempered at the moment, he is lucky I don't have a spare £50 of he would loose his tackle !!

I took my Jills to have the jab last year.

The vet seemed very reluctant to handle them & asked me to hold them. The girls took their injections well, HOWEVER while doing the last injection the vet accidently injected himself

He did laugh & said "Oh well at least I won't come into season"
