Clara is still with us. She started the fevers the end of July. They spiked to 107
and down to 99! Has all the same symptoms as the others,paralysis of hind
end,back legs painfull when you squeeze the bones, fevers,one swollen lymph
node, slight clear watery nasel discharge, occasional wet congested cough but
nothing showed on x-ray. Her WBC was 28,000 now 10,000, her PCV was 30
now 43.Had an intraosses catheter for 3 days in the beginning.
We have changed her antibiotics from Baytril & Clavamox to Ampicillin Inj.&
Flagyl.Was on Pred but stopped it. She gets daily sq fluids (20 to 40cc),she gets
Vit B inj EOD,gets carafate 3X a day. Is eating A/D with Ensure, Pet-tinic &
ground up ferret food.I feed her with a spoon & sometimes with a syringe. I am
not forcing her but I do have to get her up & she eats about 40-60cc a day. I
sent Sukie some pictures & bld results which I hope she will post here (i'm not
sure how to).
Anyone know what this is yet?
