Subject: Question-Weak back legs.
To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com

Hello,

I do not know if I formatted the subject line right but here goes nothing. I have a male ferret age unknown and up until 2 days ago he seemed perfectly healthy. Then last evening he appeared lethargic and unable to walk normally it was as if his hind legs were not holding him up. I was able to give him some ferretone and he drank a little water and ate some duck soup and seemed to just want to sleep. He woke up and walked normally to the litter box and went. His stool was very dark green and then he went again about a half hour or so later and that one was really all water. Today he still seemed weak in the legs, lethargic, and uninterested in eating anything. He seemed to try to go to the bathroom but had no luck. I have no idea what the problem is. Any thoughts.
