Dear Tansy-
SO sorry to hear opf your loss...
We have seen this in some breeder ferrets which arrived form MD in the
shelter -
in the end it was cardiomyopathy with a blood clot in the spine which
caused paresis. 2 vets missed this all together and were treating for
everything but- a 3rd vet located the cause and we were able to allow the
fella to pass over-- his sibling died 7 months later of a massive heart
attack. :(

Any chance they missed that?
