Is it possible for a young ferret to die in bronchitis because the
antibiotics aren't working? What could cause it? What could cause her
getting dehydrated even with an intake like that? How could we help
the oral fluids to stay in her and not to get dehydrated?
What could the lump have been? Vets don't have a clue.
Could the lump be connected to the rest of the health problems?
Does anyone know if baytril even is an antibiotics that should be
given to ferrets? I've heared it might be too strong and do more bad
then good.


**Baytril is often used for ferrets. Given the history and lack of response
in this jill, I doubt this is bronchitis, at least not as a primary issue.
I'd be taking a really good look for juvenile lymphoma, I'm afraid. I think the
lump under the skin was likely unrelated to the main problem.**
