Hi all,
I've been using your advice the past several months to help my 8 yr. old.
I've been using carafate the past month and still not getting improvement. I give the carafate before meals, I feed her Bob church chicken gray. I have her insuloma meds in the soup, pred. and diazoxide. I do manage to get her to finish, but it takes some time with alot of breaks in between. She is fine and active wandering around like a normal ferret, until she eats. She is in obvious discomfort, pawing at her mouth, and looking for someplace to hide. She is also unusually thirsty, water also makes her paw at her mouth.
She does not act like a sick ferret until its time to eat. She is alert and amazingly active. Any more ideas out there? You guys always know everything
Thanks again, Mo
