We all know that it is usually inevitable that putting a ferret in a kennel for a tip to the vet, can result in messes.
Well I only live less than 10 minutes from my vet. Mac had just pee-ed a whole bunch, nothing chintzy about him, so I figured this would be a quite vet visit. Only for the shot.
Well we waited about 10 minutes for the vet and she weighed Mac 3.9 BIg Boy and then I got out the ferretone, but he was really antsy.
shot was given, he took a couple of licks and got real agitated. so I picked him up and whoosh....a river of pee right down my shirt and his belly. So I held him that way while the vet tech grabbed some tissues and the Mac pooped right down the fron of my shirt. UGH...I have never had that happen before

LOL. He told you he had to go. They always shut the doors to the room for me. I let mine run around in the room and usually bring a puppy pad. I'm never disappointed. Makes a good sample for the vet, if he needs it.

Do you meant to say you've never been pooped on giving baths? Wow. I never bathed often, but the first one I gave resulted in stress incontinence, lol.

we've always had double sinks. and I would fill them both up, sometimes when they we put in the first sink, they would go, but right away I would get them up out and into the clean sink. But your're right, don't bath them often.
I met a girl the other day who said she had a ferret at one time and it stunk. Wight away I said...and you gave it a bath often? Ohyes almost every other day....so then I explained why he ferret had had such a strong odor. People just don't read or ask

We don't put them in water, just run it over them.

Years ago someone on the FML told about her ferret boy named Petey who shared a cage with an elderly (and incontinent) little lady fert. Human mommy was showing a visitor the cage with the sleeping fuzzies, and they noticed something about Petey. He was snoozing away in a hammock right below the elderly one, and she had let loose one in her sleep. And there was Petey with a pile of poopie on him. Mommy took him out, cleaned him up and put him back in his hammie. Petey slept through it all. And he earned the nickname Petey TPO - The Pooped On.
And that gave Mommy an idea for the TPO Club - and online club for anyone, human or ferret, that had been TPO'ed - peed on or pooped on. One of those silly little online things. But this was used as an excuse to raise money for rescue shelters, so it served a purpose.
I think Petey crossed the Bridge a long time ago, and I've just did a search and the TPO Club must be long gone. Sad.

It's funny what inspires some people. But as I said to Huronna, it's hard to believe she'd never been pooped on in 30 years. With an average of 7 ferrets at a time, bath time is usually enough to to get at least one.
