Hi thanx for the quick response,

I am unsure of crumpets medication... all i no is he is taking one type of tablet (1/8th twice daily) sorry this isnt much help. i will try to find out further info asap.

as to breeding him unfortunately he has been bred unintentionally (we had him vasectomised so he could bring his sisters out of season but it was not done correctly and both his sisters ended up pregnant.). i am aware that this disease can be linked to genetics and am now seriously concerned for the wellbeing of the other little ferts.

On speaking to my mum earlier it sounds like our vet is convinced he will not recover as he is nothing but skin and bones...he is not even eating his favourite treats and my mum is struggling to administer his medication.

I will try to update this info as soon as possible though i fear everyones efforts may just come to late. Thankyou so much for your help!
