Subject: [ferrethealth] ferret with enlarged spleen
To: <ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com>
I adopted Baby from a shelter recently. The woman who surrendered her told them no details of her past life. She was extremely thin when I got her. I put her on Totally Ferret and she was doing very well. A couple of weeks ago she started drinking lots of water, refusing to eat and sleeping constantly. I took her to a vet who said some virus and put her on baytril. The next day she was running in circles. Took her back and they gave her pain meds and said stay on the baytril. She quit eating altogether and one time her urine was bright green. I took her to a different vet. He will do blood work next week but until then has put her on clavamox and said he can feel that her spleen is enlarged. She has gone from a happy energetic ferret to a limp exhausted ferret who I manange to feed a bit of Gerber chicken to each day. She acts as if she's hungry but then starts lapping the side of the bowl instead of the food. Any ideas?
