cardiomyopathy with digestive impairment)
Message-Id: <a05200f0bba281d985c4e@[10.0.1.7]>
Arizana, do you know what type of cardiomyopathy he has? We had one
years ago with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in which the heart muscle
grows thick and the chambers are reduced. She had weight loss. loose
stools, and trouble using nutrients until we treated her heart
disease. Once she had heart meds the digestive troubles stopped.
Since then I have heard of a handful of ferrets with this form of
cardiomyopathy who were similar. I do not know why this would be so,
but for those ferrets it was.
His, of course, may be a different situation.
Are you treating the heart disease?
