I'm having a serious problem with my 3 month old ferret. The vets
are stumped. The next step is to put him down.
Here are his symptoms:
within a 1.5 - 2 hr period this all took place - I noticed he was
just sanding in his cage and not walking around, so I picked him up
and put him on my bed and he still wouldn't walk around. Then I
noticed there was dried saliva under his chin, so I thought i'd give
him a bath to see it that would perk him up. After the bath I
wrapped him in a towel............he wouldn't get out of the towel,
he'd just lay there. After i dried him off , I put him back into
his cage and where ever I put him he'd stay. I left the room for a
bit, and when I came back in, he was showing some aggressive
behaviour, hissing and lunging, and he would scream. I also noticed
he had long strings of saliva handing from his mouth. I then took
him into the vets. They ran some blood tests. His sugar level was
in the normal range, there where no toxins found, everything seemed
to be normal. No pain, nothing at all that would explain his
behaviour. I ended up bring him home, and now, today, he is
walking around but is still having scared tendencies, almost like
he's halusinating, he is also eating and drinking normally again,
but now he's also eating his own stool. So now there's that plus
his ongoing signs of scared aggession. Can anyone help me?
