I HAVE A FIVE MONTH OLD BABY BOY WHO IS BEHAVING WEIRD. HE EATS (COOKED)
CHICKEN, FISH AND KIBBLE. HE PLAYS LIEK A WILDMAN, BUT DURING HIS PLAY,
HE'LL STOP & DROP TO THE FLOOR AS IF HE WERE RESTING. THEN ABOUT FIVE TO TEN
SECONDS LATER HE'LL RESUME ACTIVITY. SOMETIMES HE COUGHS A LITTLE TOO MUCH
TOO. WHEN HE POOPS, HE'LL MAKE A DECENT SIZE, COLOR, BUT THEN FOR THE NEXT
FEW MINUTES, HE MANAGES TO PUSH OUT LITTLE TINY "POOP-LETS". I NOTICED THAT
HIS POOP IS DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER FERRETS' POOP. I HAVE TO BELIEVE IT'S
BECAUSE HE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO EATS CHICKEN/FISH.
I'VE ALL READY BEEN THROUGH TWO INSULINOMAS AND I THINK IT'S SAFE TO RULE
THAT OUT. HOWEVER HE WILL BE SEEING THE VET SUNDAY TO HAVE BLOODWORK DONE.
ANY SUGGESTIONS?
THANKS
