Subject: [ferrethealth] Occasional Vomit
To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com
I have a 15 mon old female that occasionally vomits/regurgitates her
food. It has happend about 3 times in the last 6 months. She has a
normal healthy appetite. She doesn't appear to have abnormal stools
per se...they are just seedy with green patches every once and awhile
(especially around the time that she vomits). What happens is she
vomits up some well chewed food/treat at first, then it is water a
few times after that. Last about 2 min, then she is done. Only
happens one 2 min span. Every time this has happened she has went to
the vet, had x-rays and an exam, and everything always seems normal.
She is a chewer, so foreign body is always a possibilty. But, the
vomitting happens once, then she appears ok afterwords...begins
eating and drinking again, no problem. And the x-rays always look
great. Today she did vomit at the vet, but I think that was because
she drank a bunch of water, then they palpated her abdomen and tried
to take her temp...very stressful for her. Has anyone ever been
through this before? Should I consider IBD? She eats Innova Evo cat
and kitten, and she gets totally ferret treats and the ferret store
dehydrated chicken. I used to give her N-bone ferret chews, but not
so much anymore. Her x-rays don't really show signs of megaesophagus.
No black or tarry stool. Besides being VERY tiny (with luxating
elbows) and the occasional vomit, she appears to be a normal ferret.
Any advice/ideas are appreciated. Thanks, Amanda
