Subject: [ferrethealth] red brusing????
To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com
hello,
my ferret has inslonma and adrenal. He is approximatley 5 years old
and is currently on prednizone and luprone injections. The hair loss
of course at first wasn't too bad, but i discovered the adrenal when
he wasn't urinating. Took him into the vet and we took care of that.
Then he got his first lupron injection with that. By the 2nd
injection he was growing back a lot of fur. He has been losing fur
again. Now he had a shot just a month ago and still no growth, but
just over the past week to two weeks he has this strange red brusing
all over his body and itching a lot. It's not a rash, there's no
rasied bump or anything. It's like something you would see on an
elderly person. The vet said it looked similar to something that he
has seen in cats and dogs (can't remember what he called it)and the
treatment for it is prednizone. I love my vet and he really does try
and does research but he has never seen this before and he really
doesn't have that much experience with ferrets. The ferret was also
again having trouble going potty on Saturday so off to the vet
again. My ferret was given a steroid shot and another lupron shot.
He is going potty again, at first his stool was kinda black and
tarry and today it's looking a little more normal. He urinated this
morning on my blue carpet and there was blood in it. Now tonight it
appears that his urine is back to being yellow. So with all that
said..... does any one have any idea about this red brusing?? I
don't know how else to describe it and i am really bad with computer
stuff so i don't think i could even take a pic and post it. I'm
afraid it may be time for my baby to go to rainbow bridge. it's
killing me.
