Subject: Help, ferret is still not eating after 2 weeks, vet info
too
I am new to this group and have turned to you in need. Please if you
can give me some answers. My male ferret who is 3 suddenly stopped
eating about 3 weeks ago. Took him to the vet 2 weeks ago and she did
a blood workup and found his lymphocytes to be about 4500 also some
bacteria in his feces. She said he is grinding his teeth also. She
put him on 2.0 cc of amoxi and 2.o cc of flagyl. It has been 2 weeks
and my ferret Toby is still not eating. I have added 1ml of pepto
before forcefeeding him. I am very worried and don' know what to do.
Should I see results by now. He is still grinding his teeth too. I
also have a female ferret should I be concerned about her as well.
Please help as I am at a loss.
