Have not heard of any one else with this so far. I was in the rescue 2 days before
they found the first dead ones, 5 ferrets, 4 dogs, 3cats all in one day. I have cats,
dogs, a ferret and livestock, farm animals. I have not gotten sick or any of the
animals here. I have offered to go there this weekend and help disinfect every thing.
Is that a good idea or can I bring this home to my animals. They have not used any
poisons around the home or yard, if any of the nieghbors have they are not saying
any thing. There are out door dogs and cats that are fine could mold kill animals in
this way I do not know if that is their case but mold is a problem around here in
many homes. I will past all of this on to them so they know what is going on they do
not have the internet in their home. I know they were tinking some forum of
poisoning and have tried Vit-K shots to stop the bleeding but it happens so fast the
Vit-K has no time t take hold.
Important:
Have ferrets or humans in your area who have not been in that household showed
up with this?
If not, then poisoning is yet more likley.
