If your uncle is on holiday (and appears not to have a mobile) why don't you ring another vet?

 

If the ferret's losing weight then it needs sorting.

No-one here can give a definitive diagnosis without rather more detail than you've given.

Will theres lots of things it could be , to rule any physical medical problem a vet can only do that, it could equally be a behavioural issue, for example the new kit being added to the run could have tipped the ballence, do they all get on or do they all scrap ?

[will.f11 24]

they get on fairly well. I have now spoken to my uncle and he said that it should be fine until tomorrow when I need to see a vet. He was skinny when I bought him and the bloke said that he should put it back on. he was fine, just thin until iv started noticing him trying to vomit. I will get him to the vet tomorrow morning

Where's he scratching his mouth ?? have another check in his mouth if its not a bone stuck in his top teeth it sounds like he's got problems with a tooth as young ferret's should be as fat as butter just now .

[will.f11 24]

he isnt scratching his mouth lol. he is just scratching the floor loads

[Kay 3,709]

i would still investigate in his mouth , he could have something stuck in his throat, when he scratches does he sort of do a backwards walk like he is backing up

[will.f11 24]

yup. and just rubs in the straw. I will have him checked out tomorrow. I hope it doesnt cost too much though lol

Well if theres something in his throat its best got out when there sedate a vets job

[will.f11 24]

O shit thats gonna cost me a bundle lol. I hope it doesnt come to that lol.

Well it will cost what it costs , it does need invetigating though, it may be a bad tooth hence the weight loss if its painfull for him to eat

[will.f11 24]

he is eating fine though. Always been a pig but too thin. Ive never seen him fat

[Kay 3,709]

what do you define as thin though, i mean do you see his ribs & his bones through the skin

[will.f11 24]

yes. he is very very very thin. very thin neck. you can feel all his bones. and see them

Get a pic up of him and inside his mouth if you can theres nothing we can really do give him a egg and some food and hope for the best at the vets...

[will.f11 24]
