No, no other diagnosis has been made. When I asked the vet about
trying a diuretic he said that although this might make the fluid drain
temporarily, that it would leave the ferret dehydrated and with his
electrolytes, etc. out of balance. He thought that this would be more
stressful to Rocky's body rather than helpful. I am getting a second
opinion tomorrow, and will take these posts with me.
