Subject: Ferret has epilepsy. Vet does not find the reason! Need HELP!!

Hi everybody,

Our Raja has been sick for a long time and now she is really bad. From
Thursday to Friday she had epilepsy every 20 minuts. Her vet thought it's a
spine problem because she has also hindlegs weakness, but she got worse and
I brought her to XXX, the ferret especialist in YYY Brazil.

All tests were made, urine, blood, kidney, liver and everything is okay. He does
not find the reason of the seizures. He suspect of lymphoma in the central
nervous system, but nothing were found. Insulinoma she does not have, she
has in fact a high sugar in Blood.

She is 5 years and does not come from a Marshall farm.
I will get the exams tomorrow and send to Dr. B willians and pray that he
answers me.

Raja is now 4 day with infusion(in the femur) and kept stable with valium, but
without valium for 36 hours she had again seizure.

If someone had experienced something like that, I beg to write me in my mail:
paty_uellendahl@hotmail.com

Thank you all for the attention!

Patricia, Pikku and Raja
