I have my 8 year female ferret on Predisone and Florinef now (gave my vet the info from this group) since last Monday (pred) and since Thurs (Florinef).

She still doesn't get up on her own to eat. I find that I can finger feed her a little bit but then need force feed her about 40 ml.

I need to get additional help.
How does the vet know to adjust the meds if the ferret is still ailing? On the potassium of the bloodwork?

What should I try next? She is on 1 ml of Pred and 1 ml of Florinef.

Thanks for any suggestions in the next step.
