Subject: Helicobacter or Blockage
One of our new ferrets went to the vets because of dry heaves. She
isn't accepting any of the new ferrets no matter how we introduce
her. She either has Helicobacter or a small blockage. She is on
amoxy, flagg and pepto bismol for two days to see if this might be a
blockage instead. Bigs archives doesn't show this as contagious, and
the only test for Helicobacter is with a stomach test. Since the
only signs are dry heaves and stress from being new, we aren't sure
what might be going on. Yes, a blockage can be life threatening. We
are providing a number of laxatives with some, but not all the luck
we had wished for. Any comments?
