Rudy is in the hospital now. He was so unresponsive yesterday. They did an ultrasound yesterday, only found fluid in his intestines. The Dr just called, he has a very low white cell count at 170. And says he's possibly anemic (I wonder if its the same from all the meds hes been put on?). I'm bringing in his cagemate for a blood transfusion.
Thanks for the info.

I currently have 10 with a similar situation. One ferret started having diarrhea a few times a week in Oct and gradually worsened. Then more started so I took the worst one to the vet. Started on the Metron, Amoxi, and Pepto. After 3 days he seemed better and we started the rest. By day 7 he was right back.
