Subject: Sudden onset of bloody stools and vomiting-Please respond
quickly
My male ferret (approx. 4 years old) was playing and acting fine
this morning. Tonight I found him throwing up and he pooped slightly
loose poop with some blood. He has not vomited anymore but has
pooped almost all watery blood with only a small amount of poop 3
times within the last half hour. He was a rescue I took in about a
year ago who had contracted ECE. He got threw the ECE fairly quickly
and has not been sick since. His only other symtoms is that he does
try to mount my other 4 ferrets and does have a strong musky smell. I
suspect possible adrenal due to the mounting however this sudden
onset of bloody stools is scaring me.
Any help out there tonight would be greatly appreciated. I gave him
some slippery elm bark to calm his stomach and he seems to be resting
now.
