Subject: Re: [Ferret-Health-list] Re: Hind End Weakness
Please forgive me for being illiterate to some of the
medical terms you are using: What is ADV? My Chip is
getting better, but not back to health yet. He's been
on Pred for 4 days now, and although I can see some
improvement, I don't want to be having false hopes.
Is it a blood test, to test for ADV?
Thanks for your patience.
