Hi all, thought i'd just put up a quick post about Bandida and Ladrona's first vet visit today.
Both have had a good check over, heart and lungs sounded good and clear. Vet commented on their skin, saying it was very good, so was their coats.
Vet agreed that a raw diet was the best for them, which surprised me a little. The vet did however have a warning regarding bacterial contamination from feeding raw, which was only fair for her to say.
Both have had Novibac DHP vaccination for Distemper, which is just one jab, repeated yearly. Not on licence in the UK, but the manufacturer is aware that it's used in ferrets and is undergoing tests to see about getting it licenced in the UK.
I discussed implant over early spaying for both stopping reproduction and as an early preventative measure against AD. Vet was very much aware of the studies that have been conducted and the Royal College of Veterinarians here in the UK fully support early preventative implant of Suprelorin.
Suprelorin is licenced for use in Male ferrets in the UK, and the vet seemed to think that the licence will be extended to female ferrets within the next couple of years.
Cost of today was also very surprising at just £48.00 gbp or approximately $60.00 usd.
Both Bandida and Ladrona have shown no signs of reaction to the vaccination and are now both back home relaxing in their favourite hammock, whilst I have a well earned coffee.
Cheers
