lorelei0922 2 Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 I reckon its still a vet job ,if it is mastitis your going to have big problems next time you breed her .better get her looked at now rather than when she's got a litter of kitts next year and cany feed them . Not true mate, because she has mastitis this time round is absolutely no indication she may have problems next time. not got any experance of it in ferrets but if not properly treated in cows they can lose that quarter and end up in hamburgers ,but how can you strip out the infected teat till you get rid of the crap and the milk looks normal in a ferret ,surely it must be a vet job and get antibiotics ?? thing is.. if the teat is Still producing milk ( as he says it is... ) it isn't clogged.. with mastitis... just over production.. and the warm cloth and expressing the milk will ease the jill before THAT can happen Quote Link to post
The one 8,615 Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 thing is.. if the teat is Still producing milk ( as he says it is... ) it isn't clogged.. with mastitis... just over production.. and the warm cloth and expressing the milk will ease the jill before THAT can happen Agreed but with cattle they stick penicillin up the teat and strip it off disgaurding the milk i cant see you doing that to a ferret ,And whem my old lab had masitis the vet opened her up on one side and nearlt took all her teats away because of the lumps I'd still be going to the vet with my ferrets as it can cause problems later in life and its not one for home remedies Quote Link to post
