Advice: I have had 2.5yr old Podo since she was 8wks old. She has always had a touchy stomach. Last year she had severe anemia and had to have her spleen removed. Again, she is weak. The vet cannot find anything wrong with her- her blood values are good- her weight is same (but she does look skinny to me!).
I have tried babyfood, and that seems to work but only temporarily. My vet is extremely knowledgable, and he does not seem to think it is ECE. Her stool is birdseed, but could it be her diet? Any suggestions for a bland food?? She is currently on a mix of a low ash vet diet and 8-1 Ultimate diet (45% protein).
Anyone know of a light food on picky eaters? She no longer plays and is getting very lethargic. Please help- as I have tried the vet with 30yrs of experience with ferrets.
She is my little girl- very tiny 1lb 3oz (my others are huge compared to her). Any weight loss could is extreme to her. She eats a lot- but it runs right through her. The others have no problems with their stool, which kind of makes me believe it is not ECE (as it is contagious).
Thanks again for reading and look forward to any advice!
