Thank you Meryl. I already have the full article as do the vets who we are consulting with.
What medication was your ferret on? Sal-tropine was recommended by a cardiologist and it was ordered today from a compounding pharmacy. Should be here tomorrow.
Pacemakers are much smaller than they used to be. Found an excellent rescource - a non-profit that supplies pacemakers for companion animals for a considerably reduced cost.
CanPacers is a non-profit repository sponsored by the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) Cardiology subspecialty, and maintained by Drs Kate Meurs, Lynne Nelson, and Allison Heaney at Washington State University:

I am hoping to hear from someone on the FHL who had a pacemaker implanted in his/her ferret or knows someone who did.
