Sukie,
I would like to take the time to thank you and all of those on the
FHL that have been so willing to spend some of their precious time
working towards helping Nic-Nac.
I also want to thank Dr. Jerry Murray for reviewing all of this as well,
and kindly offering his thoughts via individual emails to me.
It was very difficult to go thru all the vet's ideas, tests, results,
etc and try to make it legible for this group to read and understand.
Obviously I did not do a great job as there has been much confusion
regarding the entire report.
My feelings are that Nic-Nac does indeed need to be seen by the vet
and have other possible conditions reviewed to assure Nic-Nac a
decent, quality of life.
I have encouraged Vickie to consider taking Nic-Nac to the Vets as
soon as possible and I have offered to go with her to the Vets as I
have become very attached to this little guy. All of this will have
to be Vickie's decision.
I feel that because of this group, there are things that been offered
to her to better understand some of the things that may or may not be
going on and with a vet appointment conditions can be confirmed or
ruled out.
Hopefully these tests can be done.
Ultra Sound - heart
Barium -
Fecal Exam - repeated to be sure the 10 day treatement of Albon has
cleared the coccidia up.
Again, many thanks to all - I only wish I could have made it clearer
which in return would have made it simpilar to comprehend.
Ferret Hugs, and Happy Thanksgiving to all, Cindy
