In case this is the mystery illness/DIM, the poster has been sent contact information for both of the research teams studying the illness.

It is very important that whenever possible both teams work on each case because the approaches are different which means that doing so gives the best chance of optimal success, and so best help the ferrets. There are top-notch people on each team, people whose advice I've used myself for sick little ones as have so many FHL members.

While it is not definite that this ferret has this illness the fever level and pattern, the continuing appetite, the sudden onset, and the extreme muscle weakness are a normal combination with the problem, so more information will be sought to see if this is what is occuring and the member has the needed contact information for the treating veterinarian.
