Subject: RE: wasting ferret, need help asap
Message-ID: <2094327.1059695608750.JavaMail.root@thallium.smartgroups.com>
She does not have insulinoma. All the ferts have been exposed to ECE. My very first ferret (We miss you Shakey!)nearly died from it. They were all here after ECE was presumably in the house. This was a number of years ago.
I have sent out a sample for ADV testing. I have a very bad feeling it will come back positive. Her TP is 6.0 g/dL, Globulin is 3.7 g/dL. She is still wasting. Right now, I am just watching and waitng. She also starting retaining fluids, so fluid therapy had to be stopped. She will eat baby food, and take nutrical. My doc also is trying Tylan on her for the Diarrhea, since she has not responded to Metro or Pepto. Any other thoughts?
Please keep Girl in your prayers!
