Thank you Jeff and Renee.
We went to the vet last night... we were advised to switch water bottles (going first thing this morning to do so - apparently he may not like the ball in the nozzle) and given "amoxicillen" to give him twice a day for 10 days... we have a follow up tomorrow for a routine checkup I made on friday just to be sure he is up to date on vaccines and such ... oh and we were given soft prescription food and advised to buy moist ferret food (Which I had already).
So overall the vet said it was most likely a viral infection however if he doesnt begin to get better in a week or so its more like a bacterial infection and I need to go back in (I hope I didnt mix those two up I dont have the paper in front of me). Anyway everyone was really nice and said I just seemed like a worried mom - I want the best for him - toys, food, and of course health.
Weird Q - do any of your ferrets prefer cups of water to bottles? Ours seems to.
Jess, Em, and Boo
