I have a 1 1/2 yr old female MF ferret. She has always been in good health=
. She was fine yesterday. This morning she didn't get up with the others,=
and when I went to check on her she was obviously not right. She is sort =
of curved to one side, and wobbly. She seems pretty out of it, kind of con=
fused. I gave her gerber turkey and she ate about 2 tsp of that, and I tri=
ed to give her water. She didn't eat anything else, but did walk all aroun=
d the house, wobbly and sort of crooked, for an hour. Then climbed up in to=
the small ferret cage I have by herself and is now asleep. I have called t=
he vet who can't see her until late this afternoon. She has always been my=
most active, acrobatic fuzzy. A month ago she had a warble in her side, a=
nd went to the vet to have it removed, and was on anti-biotics (pink stuff)=
while the hole cleared up, and she also had a rabies shot, since she likes =
to go outside with me. The warble hole healed quickly and she seemed fine. =
Does anyone know what these symptoms are? Thank you. Mary =
