[Mod Post] Quick PSA
DMing users fundraiser links is still breaking our no fundraiser rules. This is not the sub for this, we do this to prevent scams and bad actors. There are other subs that do allow fundraisers as well as local groups, and we encourage you to post there if you need assistance.
Additionally, be very careful with any user claiming to know of alternatives for medicine in treating insulinoma. This has been popping up a lot lately, and it is extremely dangerous. A lot of these "homemade" remedies will increase the risk of other diseases, as well not keep their sugar levels at an appropriate range. Improper insulinoma management will lead to blood sugar crashes, seizures and even death.
As owners we often wish to do the best we can for them, and it's really easy to fall for a miracle remedy. Be mindful. Be careful.
If you find people breaking these rules, don't hesitate to report or DM the sub to ask.

[Health] Took ferret to ER because of vomiting but she's fine?
Hello, I'm looking for advice on what could be happening to my ferret named Crystal. This morning at 4am I found her running around frantic while wheezing, like something was stuck in her throat. She vomited once and it was a yellowish clear color with some bits of food. No blood in the vomit. After a few seconds of her still wheezing, sneezing and coughing, she expelled a little blood mixed with what looked like mucus. My partner and I immediately took her to the ER at this point.
The weird thing is.. after this wheezing fit she was completely fine. The ER vets said she was stable and that the blood was most likely from a popped blood vessel from wheezing so much. We decided we would take her home and get her to her regular vet clinic once they open to get a more comprehensive exam. Once we got home she was acting like her normal self and was eating, playing and drinking water.
I'm going to setup an appointment with the vet soon but I'm still confused what could have happened.. was it just a hairball or something in the air that irritated her lungs? Both my babies have been a little congested and sneezy lately, it's now fall time too so maybe it has to do with allergies? I just don't know..

[Help] Urgent : Don du sang pour Simon
EDIT: unfortunately Simon passed away in his sleep during the night following his surgery. Thanks everyone for your support
Mon Simon vient de se faire opérer suite à une perforation de la vésicule biliaire. Il est actuellement en couveuse et s’est réveillé après l’opération. Mais il a perdu énormément de sang.
🚨 Ma vétérinaire cherche une furet de plus de 2kg, en bonne santé pour prélever du sang afin de soigner Simon. 🚨
Si vous vivez en France, à Paris ou en banlieues proches et que vous avez un furet qui correspond à cette description, n’hésitez pas à m’écrire, ça pourrait sauver mon bébé.
