I have been speaking with the group this past week about my ferret Gordo wh=
o was diagnosed with DIM this past Monday without a biopsy. I am attaching =
all symptoms and will post bloodwork under the Share Files in the event tha=
t someone might see something that the vets are not. I am on my 2nd opinion=
and he is just getting worse. I am afraid by the time they find out what i=
s wrong, it will be on a necropsy.
Began Saturday July 8th
Here it is. Symptoms of hind end problems as in walking very slow on Day
one, tucking his butt under like when they get wet. I first thought we had =
a
lower spine injury when I saw it (Saturday afternoon) Also having stools
stuck to his bottom for the first 3 days and not cleaning it up so I would
have to wash him. Not eating without help and then only eating a total of
60cc food all day. Drinking alot of water first 3 days. Fever of 103 - 104.=
5
throughout day. Lethargic. Eyes have a clear fluid and so does nose but no
lung sounds. Very fast respiration at all times. This is Day 8 today, fever=
remains the same, bloodwork remains the same, ferret is getting worse, =
but some symptoms have disappeared, such as hind end weakness and =
stools stuck to bottom. I really thought he had swallowed something but =
no signs on ultrasound yet.
Yesterday was only able to get 32cc of food into him, did not want to
adventure out, but in the AM was playing like his old self attacking my
feet. The more sleep he gets, the better he feels, becomes more lethargic a=
s
the day goes on. I wake him up to come outside his cage and eat and visit.
Liver values off, anemic, WBC high, RBC, low. All can be seen on reports.
Have run 2 sets of bloodwork in the past week.
The first US showed nothing, 2nd US (newest model out) showed something in
the prostate area that they planned to aspirate if the antibiotics he has
been on now for 7 days did not show any change in his symptoms. Diagnosed
with DIM on Day 3 of illness. Hind end issues went away on Day 3, never
returned so far at least. So basically fever, lethargy, lack of desire to
eat, watery eyes and nose, very fast respiration. Over the weekend a
swelling appeared on his abdomen upper right side near stomach, intestines,=
spleen, liver. Is not visible today and on way to Ultrasound again. Plans =
=
today for the aspiration under sedation with Ultrasound. =
Of course the swelling is not in an area we have seen anything in so far.
First bloodwork posted under Files with this name:
