Subject: Re: putting Kramer to sleep???

Hello Jen,
Sounds as if Kramer is pretty miserable! If he is
still having seizures then perhaps his pred. dose is
too low? Are you giving him his carafate with his
meals, or 20 mins before as it needs to coat his
stomach before eating?
Are you feeding him babyfood as it is so much
easier for him to digest than kibble? Feed him small
meals and often and check with your vet to see if he
needs to increase his prednisone!
Whenever we have a ferret with ulcers/grinding of
the teeth we give them pepto, amoxy and flagyll for 3
weeks, so you might want to talk to your vet about
that too. I imagine he is in a lot of pain from the
stomach ulcers and all he wants to do is sleep,
however he needs the right medicines to heal---Angela.
