Subject: ferrets with virus
My husband brought home a virus which is quickly spreading
thru my ferrets. If the symptoms are the same with them, they
have congestion, sore throat, aches and pains. They do not
want to eat and are wheezing and sneezing. My vet put them on
amoxicilliin but since it is a virus this is only providing
protection against secondary infections. Two of my ferrets
already have serious health prob. kidney prob. and lymphoma.
I've been giving them duck soup but they do not have any
appetite and I have to coax and spoon feed. Anything I can do
to relieve some of the symptoms? Is tylenol safe and what
dosage if so?
Thanks,
Laurel
