I took my 7 month old ferrets to the vets because he was not walking right. His blood work came back fine. His xray was good. My neighbor boy dropped him yesterday so they think it is trama to his back. He is home he eats and drinks but is limp. They have him on pain meds and steroids. Do you think he will recover?

if the xray don't show a break - it's probably a sprain or perhaps inflamed nerves. you did right to bring him to the vet and i'm hopeful with the pain meds and steroids he will recover just fine.

hopefully this was a lesson for the boy who dropped him too

keep us posted!

I'm sure your little neighbor feels bad but sometimes these wiggly weasles just make it hard to hang onto them. Maybe next time he can sit on the floor to play with him. I would keep your ferret as confined as possible without stressing him out so that he doesn't hurt himself and gets lots of rest til he's better. Sounds like you're doing everything right... I hope he gets well quickly. Please let us know how he does.

Tina: It's been a very long time since I have posted here and it looks like this forum is just about inactive now. I think it is safe to say that most people have moved over to Facebook. Dec 11, 2017 9:56:16 GMT -5

Tina: I wanted to post a message and let everyone know that long time ferret owner and one of the admins here on this forum has passed away. Barbara (from Arkansas) passed away from cancer yesterday afternoon. Dec 11, 2017 9:57:10 GMT -5

Tina: I met her here on this forum and we became great friends meeting up in person and really becoming close. I thought there might still be someone around that knew her and would want to know. Dec 11, 2017 9:57:51 GMT -5

n9xvt: just a FYI facebook is on a clense mission,, several animal and ferret groups have been taken down,, includeing several rescue and rehome groups Aug 12, 2019 19:40:22 GMT -5

wizzyrhino: I check back now and again to see if anybody is still around, although its been a while (I was actually looking for the duck soup recipe to adjust for my cat). I heard about Barbara via FB
