Sukie,
I am so glad you saw this! I know you have a good 'NET' know
how for information. I was hoping you could help with this.
Currently due to misdiagnoses I have buried the 2 lost to this.
And the other 2 that thus far seem to be recovering, are just that. I
am not sure that any stools or blood work ups would offer any help. I
would be glad to document my experience. I do however know of 2 other
homes that these aggressive symptoms seem to be haunting. I will ask
them to send on stools at the very least. Can you re-post the
address where to send them? Can that still be done at this point.?
Someone on the FML sent me a few links. There is one referring to
study saying the Vax in Mink did NOT seem to help the out breaks.
Another link say Ferrets can Not get the Mink Enteritis. However my
thinking was much like what you have pointed out. Put simple we know
disease like Distemper are species specific at times. We have feline
or canine version. There seems to be many strains of Parvo out there.
So why is it so far fetched to think that this Mink Enteritis may
have evolved into a ferret strain?
At this point I realize the answers are with the disease experts. I
would be glad to try and play middle man and see if we can get some
of these much needed samples. And if I have reoccurrence in my home I
will send what ever I can to help.
Thank you for the response!
