Re: Ferret Webcam (Kits Due Soon..)
Cammy update April 27th 2010 (copied and pasted by breeder)
Cammy was taken to the vet today since she is on day 44 of her pregnancy and is two days overdue. With much deliberation the vet and I decided that she needed a little help. It is dangerous to let ferrets go too far overdue and especially in Cammy's case because she is tiny to begin with.
So Cammy got a shot of prostiglandin, to help ripen her cervix and get her moving along. The vet thinks he felt at least 4 kits, he said some could be hiding so there may be more. Cammy is now home and resting in her nest box. She is panting and her tummy is really tightning up. Everyone is hoping that she gives birth by tonight.
If the kits haven't arrived by tomorrow the vet may need to take other steps to help them along
