Oh, here is my original post which caused the person
to ask for additional info on Addisons:
We usually use Fludrocort crushed and given in Ferretone
or Vivify along with Prednisolone when this happens, but
some prefer Percorten injections about every 20 days with
daily Prednisolone.
Read in:
http://www.miamiferret.org/addisons.htm
Addisons may not show up immediately but then the
ferret will begin to have problems days later and if not
treated rapidly WILL die. It is a fatal problem, but a
ferret can go from actively dying to being normal within
hours if treated in time.
Some require a tiny bit of salt along with the diet till
they have been stabilized.
