Hey everyone!
We acquired a ferret a month ago. He is approx 4-5 years old
and a MF ferret. We know little about his past, but he came
to us with 3 other ferrets who are all doing great.
Here is his known history:
Retinal degeneration (totally blind)
Scruffy coat, lethargic, normal stools, noticed green urine
today, appetite seems normal. ADV test pending Monday
Ran blood work today.
Thanks for any input!
