I certainly have found the information terribly confusing.
There would appear to be numerous visits to different vets in a
relatively short period of time. From the history it does not appear
that various treatments were completed before another treatment begun.
This may not be the case but it is how it reads.
I don't understand the phrase "suspected anemia" - blood values would
confirm anemia. Is that why he had the blood transfusion? And as Karen
asks - has lymphoma been ruled out?
Murmur is mentioned in one place - then systolic murmur after a fecal
exam in another?? Either way I do read Cardiomyopathy from an x-ray
taken.
This ferret is also being treated for coccidia, presumably because
coccidia was confirmed - or was it suspected? Presumably the Albon is
working because the stool is being described as solid. So why is a
barium being considered?
I guess I am not understanding what the presenting problems are right
now?? Inactivity?? Is he receiving medication for the cardiomyopathy?
