Thank you for your kind words, Meg. I have decided I will take her
home tomorrow if at all possible, where I can be with her all weekend.
I visited her yesterday and she is still very weak and not eating.
She can't maintain her body temperature and trembles until I warm her
with my body heat. My vet and I agreed that she is far too weak for
an exploratory. I discovered an aspirate was NOT taken of her spleen,
since they think the nodules on her pancreas are the problem.
I received several kind e-mails and took their advice - I left my vet
a message asking for prednisolone instead of prednisone. I plan on
calling him again today and also going and visiting her, so hopefully
I can get him to try it. I am also going to call and ask the vet tech
what gastro meds they have been giving her, and find out if they are
force feeding her often enough - I think I noticed every 6 hours on
their schedule, and it should be more frequent for a ferret.
