Subject: [ferrethealth] Therapy for paralysis-inability to urinate
To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com
Also have urine drawn and tested for infection. Some ferrets
with difficulty urinating have infections in place. An x-ray to
check for uroliths also makes sense. If uroliths are present
the treatment will depend on the type of urolith (and some
require approaches that are pretty much opposites of
each other). A urine pH can also give an idea on that score.
That is great point about using the same technique for
which ferrets are already wired. (I've used that decades ago
for an owl monkey baby whose mother rejected him.) I think
I'll try that on Hilbert, too, to see if it might help him. Many
thanks for the heads up for all of us.
