Furrosious ferreter 499 Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Went to the court today and noticed my ferrets vulva is grazed. Ive just had my hob vasectomy done 2 weeks ago, so she is supposed to be going in with him at the end of the month. What is the best way to treat her? Cheers FF Quote Link to post
mandog 36 Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 bathe in salt water, keep hutch clean. abit of iodine if you got it. Quote Link to post
skycat 6,172 Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Iodine?????????? No way. Far too strong on such a delicate area. Bit of sudocrem is about as harsh as a swollen vulva can tolerate, though chances are the ferret will lick it off. Keep her in a very clean hutch/run. Clean out every day. Don't use wood shavings, use straw. Wood shavings can seriously irritate. 2 1 Quote Link to post
The one 8,390 Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 I would leave it alone let her or if there's other ferrets in with her lick it , keep a eye on it and if it gets dirty wipe with a baby wipe . but being honest it depends how bad the graze is a hob ferret can do some damage there and it never bothers them Quote Link to post
beany01 223 Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 One of mine had a graze too, she kept it clean and it healed in a few days Quote Link to post

rabbit demon 301 Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 The hob needs 8 weeks to stop producing, if you stick your jill in with him at the end of the month and hes only had the operation 2 weeks ago, theirs still a chance of your jill having kits. 1 Quote Link to post

My vet actually advised waiting 3 months, just to be on the safe side. Quote Link to post

Furrosious ferreter 499 Posted June 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Vets told me 3 weeks, should i wait longer then? FF Quote Link to post
The one 8,390 Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Because it like when a human gets the snip you have a reservoir and they ask you to give two samples weeks apart but on a ferret you cant take samples so you wait three months to be sure his tanks are empty . I would google it from a ferret friendly vet mate or your going to end up with loads of kits Quote Link to post
