very thin hob ferret


Recommended Posts

hi all i have a 6 year old polecat hob he has lost a lot of weight could be because the breeding season he does it every year around this time but hes gone really thin he doesnt eat a lot but does drink a lot tried to get him in to vets tonight but no chance so it is tomorrow he has bred once this year but could it be just old age and also he is breathing very quickly any ideas cheers hope you can help :icon_eek:

Try putting some rabbit blood (if you can get it) in a SEPERATE water bottle. If he will drink it the blood proteins should help healthen* him up a bit. You will need to change it for fresh very regularly however as it will thicken quickly and will probably clog up the valve.
