Call whomever is covering for your vet while the vet is away. From
_Ferrets, Rabbits and Rodents_ by Hillyer and Quesenberry it reads to
my non-vet mind as if they advise that Digoxin start low then is
built up to a level that doesn't have problems. Yes, it can cause
inappetence so the covering vet may need to figure out a new lower
dose level and then your vet can try building it up again later as
needed. This is something that you need to have treating vet input
and choices about quite rapidly so call today.

The FHL is still recovering from the down time over the last few days
and the Smartgroups is NOT yet processing things in anything
approaching a timely fashion.
