Hi Everyone, Well I
have more to tell you about Junior. He absolutely HATES metrodiazinole (
BIG surprise there!) I am still trying new and improved ways to get him
to swallow his meds instead of showering me with them.
The vet called to tell me there is nothing unusual about the bloodwork
he did. Everything looks good. Unfortunately this was left on my
answering machine as I was not home. The vet wants to schedule an appt.
for a recheck and to try a cortisone shot to see if that would help. I
did make a new appt for Monday Dec 2nd, but was not able to talk to the
vet as he was with a patient and I was on my way to work. I will get the
blood test results when I go on Monday and post them Mon. night.
In the meantime, does anyone have any thoughts or ideas to give me an
idea as to questions I should ask, besides what is the cortisone shot
going to do for Junior ? Thanks to all of you. Everyone have a Great
Thanksgiving ! Mary

Hi Everyone, I have
a few questions for you . I took my ferret (Junior) to a new vet today.
One year ago Junior had what was diagnosed as liver disease. This was
diagnosed through ultrasound and bloodwork( liver values came back
high). Junior's symptoms at that time were an enlarged belly, muscle
mass loss in the hind end, loss of color in his gums, nose, and paw
pads. He was also nauseous and had no appetite. He was given actigal to
correct the liver values, and in time it did work. He was on the meds
for about 3 months when his bloodwork came back within normal range. He
gained a little weight, and was a lot better, but never lost his little
pot belly. The new vet told me that Junior's spleen is very enlarged and
that he felt a lunp below the spleen . He did a blood chem and will call
me when he has the results. He also put Junior on metronidazole .025
twice a day. And chlorenphenicol ( if I spelled that correctly) 0.5
twice a day. Junior has all the same symptoms as he had a year ago,
except his appetite is still good. He was a little dehydrated though.
Please let me know your thoughts as I am a bit confused. BTW I like the
new vet!!!!!! Thank You, Mary
