Stupid, stupid me. I had the pigs out for some floor time (gated off in the "pet wing" of my room) and I also had my ferrets running loose. Both of the ferts were off sleeping somewhere so I thought I'd have time to run downstairs and fix up the pigs' veggies without anything to worry about. As I was coming back upstairs I hear Lucy start to very shrilly wheek. I didn't realize something was wrong until I walked into my room. The wheek didn't sound right and when I glanced into the petwing I saw the paper bag I had set down in it for the pigs to hide in was frantically shaking. I thought Lucy had gotten stuck and I went over to help her out and then I saw a fuzzy ferret tail poke out of the bag. I dumped the bag out and Dameon, my male fert, had ahold of Lucy's neck and was not letting go. Long story short, I ended up carrying Dameon and Lucy both into the bathroom where I ran some water onto Dameon so he'd let go.
Lucy is shaken up, but isn't hurt severely, thank God. She has a slight bite mark on her neck that bleed just a little bit. Since I've been a victim of Dameon's bulldog bites before, it could have been a LOT worse.
Lucy's ate a little of her veggies last night and drank a little (no where near what she normally eats and drinks). I have the pigs down for some floor time right now (with the ferrets securely up in their cage) and she's running around some, but not like she normally does.
She's not hurt anymore than the small bite mark on her neck, so I didn't know if I should be worried about shock or anything? How long should I expect her to be under the weather before I should start getting concerned? I'm going to keep an eye on her bite to make sure it doesn't become infected, so hopefully it won't even be a problem.
Needless to say, ferrets are now not EVER going to be out when pigs have their floor time.
