Subject: [ferrethealth] Pandora Update
To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com
Hi Guys,
Thank you for all of your great suggestions, I just wanted to update everyone in regards to my poor sick Pandora. I took her to the Vet yesterday (I had to activate a new line of credit to pay for it while waiting to cash in my vacation time, which takes a week, to pay that back), and so far there was not much testing done on her other than a physical exam by the doctor (they wanted about $500 to leave her over night and run tests on her). He gave her a shot of antibiotics, which also should help increase her appetite, and I got a feeding syringe so I can force feed her some baby food until she starts eating on her own. I was also given some medicine to give her twice a day, starting today, that is an antibiotic, as well as an appetite stimulator. I will be calling the Vet on Friday, and may still have to go through with the $500 dollar testing fees if this does not help by then, but I have no choice I want her to get better whatever it takes. So far I have force feed he
r three times (about 5 - 10 cc of baby food at a sitting), and there is not any noticable improvement yet, but I am closely monitoring her and hope this starts to give her some energy back, and gets her back to health and eating on her own. At least she is continuing to drink water, although not eating without being forced. I will keep everyone updated as the Pandora saga continues. Please keep her in your prayers.
