Thanks for yor reply Patty,

No other problems, this was a happy active healthy ferret on saturday
night. Twelve hours later this poor thing had no use of his rear
legs. The only thing was the use of the wrong medication. He has been
hospitalized since yesterday noon, doctor took xrays and ruled out
any broken bones etc. and has him on fluids and prednisone. It seems
too much of a coincedence for me. I Don't know what to do.

Thanks,

George
