Hi all
I have asked many questions here about one of my ferrets He seems to just h=
ave one problem after another. I am hoping I can count on you all again. K=
oda has started to flinch when you go to pet him on his head or upper shoul=
ders neck area, even if you are already holding him. One other thing I noti=
ced is that when given a treat if he drops some of it before he is done che=
wing he seems to have a hard time finding all the parts. I am wondering if=
long term pred use for Insulinoma can cause blindness or loss of vision. H=
e still seems to see some but we can't really tell for sure how bad off it =
maybe. Koda seems to find his way around the house just fine but he has liv=
ed with us for about 6 of his 7+ years. so I don't think that would be that=
uncommon. It is almost time for him to go in for his regular checkup at t=
he vets office Is there anything I should have him check for? Can this wait=
a week for his regular apt or does Koda need to be seen sooner? Thanks in=
advance for your opinions and advice
Jennifer
