Subject: Uncontrolled tremors

I have a 5 year old femal that has developed tremors. She had
an undifferenciated carsinoma removed from her abdomen area
almost a year ago. Prior to that she had very sshort and
course hair. Upon removal and in about 3 months, her hair was
soft and much longer and fuller. About 3 months ago I had a
pretty nasty flu bug that ran through my house and a few of my
ferrets were sneezing and had runny noses. Idget got and ear
infection and was on Batril.
I thought that maybe her eardrum burst and as it healed the
seeming loss of equilibrium and tremors would subside. They
have not and my vet could find nothing that would obviously
cause the tremors. It seems to mainly head bobs that she can't
control and when she is being held she arches her neck back
almost reflexively.
Does anybody have any suggestions.
