Default Re: Get or Avoid?

I'm sorry, that's really sad, I do hope she pulls through ok but I have no experience of wet tail so I really don't know how well a ham can be if it does recover from wet tail, I believe that there is always a chance of lasting damage so long term health may not be good.

I can understand how you feel about getting another ham from there now, I think anyone would feel uncertain about it although the chances are other hams would be fine but I can imagine there would always be some doubt in your mind.

Do you have any small independent pet shops near you? Some times they can be a bit hard to find but when I was struggling to find a ham a very long trawl through google did turn up some shops I never knew existed so that might be worth a go. Smaller independent shops do sometimes source their hams from smaller breeders so there is a chance they may be healthier than from a large chain store.
