Well, i went to clean the straw out of the bed today and seen 8 kits. I was thinking what the hell!!!!!

 

As the ferret who was last to be mated, i used what i thought was a vaesectomised hob - he clearly isn't.

Lots of V hobs are failing this year that performed well last year a lot of rescues are being flooded with kits because of it. It seems reversals are quite common I had one snipped a couple of weeks ago not sure if im gonna use him now

You have to wait 12wks to be safe before letting him back in with the Jills.........thats the mistake i made and ended up with 14kits

Vets will tell you 8 but the local rescue informed me it can be up to 12wks.

MOLL.

There should be no chance of a reversal happening, as part of the tube is supposed to be removed and sent for testing. In ferrets that is.

No different to humans really, re-the time delay ,- you have to give 3 samples over 3 months to check your ok. ! ( Not the ferret ).

Failure rates after a vasectomy are estimated to be less than 1%. The primary reason for vasectomy failure is recanalization. This occurs when the cut ends of the vas deferens spontaneously reconnect. Causes of recanalization may be sperm granuloma, tiny balls of debris that form from sperm, scar tissue, and white blood cells at the incision site. Cells lining the inside of the vas deferens grow through the scar tissue and form a new channel through which the sperm can now move. In general, surgeons can prevent this by leaving a gap between the two cut ends. [ See Sperm Granuloma under What Are the Long-Term Complications after Vasectomy?]

 

This natural vasectomy reversal can occur after any vasectomy surgical procedure, but it is a very rare event. It develops in only about .025% or one in 4,000 vasectomies. Recanalization has been known to occur as soon as a man has achieved a zero sperm count and as late as 17 months after vasectomy. Men should have a follow-up examination a year after the procedure to be sure that there are no residual or new sperm. Although physicians urge men to return for such follow-up testing, in one study only 3% did so.

 

as its the rescues that use vas hobs often than most they seem to be getting the short straws

Down to four kits, I think they may have been suckling on the second jill and not getting the food.

 

I took the second jill out, and now all four are fighting fit and they have grown somewhat.

 

THere is 3 jills and the fourth, i think is a hob, but it was hard to tell. Soon know in a few weeks time. Pictures will be coming soon but i dont want to disturb them too much
