BONE STUCK IN THROAT

[B.P.R 2,798]

got the ferrets out today for cleanin and noticed one of them what caughing a lot.

 

once id cleaned the hutch and changed water/food etc i checked him out.

 

found a piece of rabbit bone stuck in the back of his teeth, seemed like it was a knuckle as thete was a bit down his throat too.

 

got the tweezers out and removed it, the other bit flicked onto the floor and couldnt find it to take a picture.

 

lucky i noticed it or it could have caused him some problems

Mine get the large softish bone stuck at the back of there jaws from time to time, makes you wonder if they would ever shift without intervention, usually dislodge it with the inside of my thumb with my hand clamped around the back of there head, its amazing how angry they can seem even when you are helping them!
