Hi everyone,
I have a 3-year old boy named Fonzy that's been having extremely liquid and=
yellowish diarrhea for the last few days and this morning I caught him vom=
iting. His abdomen feels okay, he's not lethargic or dehydrated and, as far=
as I can tell, is eating and drinking normally. He's been on the same diet=
since I've had him (TF-Iams kitten) so this isn't resulting from a dietary=
change. Also, my 3 other ferrets that live in the same cage don't seem to =
be affected. He's already had ECE when he was around one and he hasn't been=
outside the house or in contact with other strange ferrets in over a month=
.=
I just isolated him from the other ferrets so that I can keep an eye on him=
. Could the heat be causing this (85=B0F upstairs-where the ferret room is)=
? Then why is he the only one that seems to be bothered by it? Could it be =
some kind of internal parasite infection? But then again, why is he the onl=
y one affected?
I'm planning on going to vet if there's no improvement by Monday but I'd re=
ally appreciate it if some of you could enlighten me on what could possibly=
be causing this or give me some advice on the matter.
Thanks a lot,
Bernadette and the fuzzy bunch - Trouble, Fonzy, Spooky and Edgar.
