Subject: weight loss & coughing
I lost 2 ferrets last month - Buddy was just a year old and had bone
and liver cancer -Nikki was 6 years old and had adrenal cancer. They
youngest ferret I had is Rocky he was just under a year when Buddy
and Nikki passed away. He was lonely so I went out and bought two
new kits - Since then Rocky has lost 1/2 a pound and really doesn't
want to play with them he would rather play with me (I don't know if
the kits are to rambunkuous for him he lets them bit and jump on him
and he won't hurt them) I though I was doing the right thing getting
him more companions being he was never alone before - now i am not so
sure i made the right desion.
The kit blackie I have had to the vet 3 times already for coughing in
the middle of the night. Once he is on medicine he is fine two days
after the medicine stops he starting coughing and sneezing
uncontrollably in the middle of the night.
Does any one out there have any suggestions????
