Hi, I just wanted to put in my experience w/ my ferret Gus.=A0 I adopted hi=
m a few months back, and shortly after that=A0he started having bad stools =
(diarrhea to soft and runny).=A0 I did stool checks, antibiotics, food tria=
ls...etc.=A0 Nothing was helping.=A0 Vet did an ultrasound and found his in=
testines very inflamed, and a couple of 'spots' (forgot what he called them=
)=A0on his spleen, and enlarged lymphnodes.=A0 He said that led him to beli=
eve that we are probably dealing w/ lymphoma.=A0 We did biopsies, and it wa=
s indeed lymphoma.=A0 Hopefully that is not going on w/ your ferret, but I =
did just want to let people know that if you do the antibiotics and food tr=
ials and it doesnt help, you may want to get biopsies done, as abnormal sto=
ols are indicating something is going on in there.=A0
Andrea
