<<<<<I have a 7 year old male ferret with IBD, diagnosed about 3 years ago. He is currently on Imuran (.50 cc/day), Carafate (.20cc 2x/day) and Amoxi (.20cc 2xday). Are you familiar with this regimine of meds for this condition, or do you have any other suggestions. He is active, eating well (Pro Plan Turkey/Barley cat food) and maintaining his weight (2 1/2 lbs). Lymph nodes are normal and blood work normal.

I have heard of this IBD in the most recent ferrets Usa magazine. I believe it is the first time I have ever read anything about it. I would also like all of the information anyone has on this to be sent to me. I have a 6 year old ferret that we have been treating for a gastric ulcer, and his symptoms totally match that of the IBD also. I will be contacting my veterinarian with the provided information. Thank you so much for everything...
