CLOVER_ PYOMETRA IS AN INFECTION!!!!!!!!
WHat it puts out is poisons and makes the ferret septic if left untreated....
IT WILL KILL THE FERRET!
YOu need a wide spectrum antibiotics at this point Clavamox &
Baytril otherwise it will just get worse as soon as the meds end...
Pyo kills many animals including ferrets... the SOURCE OF THE PYO IS THE
REAL CONCERN-- she needs SURGERY to get the uterus / stump or whatever
has caused this removed.. that means surgery by a knowledgeable ferret vet!
