Subject: [ferrethealth] Post Adrenal surgery temp 104.5 RED belly, pubis,anus,
To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com
Pecan had a left adrenaectomy on Nov 9. Bounced back great, was on 5
days of Amoxi. post op. Day after thanksgiving started dry heaves and
was itchy all over, but not red. Temp never was over 103.1. Feed
around the clock for 3 days, duck soup and Gerbers. By Monday seemed
okay just itchy. He was never itchy before the surgery. We had to use
the Tenns. Panel to verify Adrenal.
Last night I came home to him itchy, red bumps everywehere he had
been shaved for surgery plus about a quarter inch. His pubis? (outer
part that you can see of his penis) was red and slightly enlarged.
His anus is swollen and red. Ears very itchy and red. Bowel movements
like pudding.Called where he had the surgery but no ferret vet in
until Monday. I gave him 1cc of oral childrens benydryl. 0.03
buprenex (3mg/ml) sub Q. Put ALoe on the red bumps. He ate okay duck
soup. Slept soundly but this AM back to where we were last night but
has now added a fever of 104.5. I just gave him another 1cc of the
benydryl and fed him. I left a message for the attending vet (for
today) last night and am still waiting on a return call. They have
been open over 2 hours now. What else can I do for him? What is going
on? FYI his hair is now over a half inch long where he was shaved so
I wouldn't think it was caused by hair growth. I have called 4 local
clinics but nobody ferret lnowledgable available. The hospital that
did the surgery is 3 hours away. thanks, Mary Jo
