Can the Prednisone dosage be increased? Would that help? I am not a vet,
however, Prednisone is used in a variety of illnesses.... often times in
adrenal and/or insulinoma situations. Hind end weakness is a symptom of both
these conditions along w/many others. I'm not sure it would help, just a
thought. Others on this list have much more experience than I.
Hopefully, you can keep her stable until you get a hold of the vet. Lots of
TLC, force feed if necessary, and let the vet know this is atypical for this
ferret.
Best wishes,
