Subject: Re: 2nd Post - Neurological problem?
Thanks for your input, Dr. Williams (and Alicia!). I don't know too
much more than what I posted. This is a fairly recent development in
this ferret and the last conversation I had with the person was that
the ferret has gotten worse since the U. of Tenn. visit.
He says Sassy is currently on a new med. Exactly what med is unknown
to me, but I've asked. I understand these things can often be very
difficult to diagnose and it sounds like they're just trying
something to see if it provides any improvement.
If I can get further details, I'll post again.
