Subject: [ferrethealth] Question about Calcium Mass
To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com
ok I took my ferret Zeek to the vet again yesterday... hes a quick recap of his story ...
3 weeks ago found out zeek had Insulnomia, was put on Predelisone , he also had a small lump on his spine , the vet thought it might be just arthritis and said that if it was the pred would help some , well, as of 3 weeks later Zeek is still not using his hind end to walk but is able to move his legs , so I called my vet and told him what was still going on , ( after many other phone calls to the man ) ..lol. I made an appointment for him for yesterday to get an x ray , and what was found was a Calcium Mass in the middle of his spin and that is why he isnt walking, my vet is at a loss at to what to do for him to fix this besides maybe surgery , and that is totally out of the question as he will be 8 yrs old in march, so does anyone else have any ideas of anything I can give to him to disolve this calcium mass , I was doing a lot of reading last night and I have found threw some Herbal Remedie sites that amino acids and antioxidents will actually dissolve bone spurs and
calcium masses on the bones , but my question is I guess is has anyone else heard of this tried it and how much do u actually give to a ferret that weighs on 2.5 pnds.
oh and bye the way his sugar is fine so that is not the problem
