PHOTOS POSTED! See Red itcy ferret photos. Please go look at these
and give me some advice. Here is what has been done since the
previous posting.
His fever topped out Saturday night at 106.3. I wrapped him in cold
towels and got the fever down to 104 then normal by Monday.
Went to vet and did skin scrapings, negative for mites etc. Put on
0.9 mg of Baytril 2X day subQ. That was Monday. So far after 4
injections I can't tell any difference. He has lost 12% body weight.
Very thirsty, now grinding teeth so he is getting carafate. Still
eating but much less at a time so I have increased his feedings. Feet
are turning yellow and are hardened. Soaked him in Epson salts and
put bag balm on his feet. Started him on 1mg of prednisolone 2X aday
by mouth this afternoon. Ideas anyone?? ANYTHING? Ever see this
before??? I am starting to lose hope for his survival.
