Guest vin Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Sorry to hear that fella. . . I lost one of my Jills this week..(PTS). It could have been a problem with a double kit birthing at same time..it sometimes happens that 2 try to come out at same time and cause problems. Its a shame but these things happen sometimes and theres nothing you can do about it really. chin up. atb vin Quote Link to post

The one 8,593 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 But at least she passed them its not as if they rotted inside her ?. Quote Link to post
paulus 26 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 if it had been dead for a week inside her then it wouldnt have helped Quote Link to post
The one 8,593 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Was there any indication she was in trouble before her due date ?. did she fall or anything ?. Quote Link to post
ferret1988 20 Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 she was fine i kept her cool in the heat and in a shaded place to be honest the only thing was her size she was ov carrying a lot of kits was twice the size of others that have given birth to 5-7 in previous years she only passed 3 before ying and i no she had more inside, gutted had add her from been born and she was my best ferret and my last proper working one as the other 2 are now retired through old age and dont wanna work them just to kn ock them up and die if ya get me they deserve a rest after 7 years of working twice a week.
