We have a ferret named Bandit who is about 5ish.  Hes been part of our family for almost 4 years.  He was diagnosed with Inusulinoma about 2 years ago and has been on pred ever since.  He is losing his fur despite a disloren implant (2 implants about 6 months apart).  We have been struggling to keep weight on him for the year.  He has presented just like these two ferrets, diarrhea, weight loss, give antibiotics (Clavamox) does better then relapses after the antibiotics are done.  He eats kibble and we have been feeding him three times a day pureed chicken. 

This morning he didn't want to eat but we suspect that he had a piece of food caught in his mouth which tired him out.  We will try to feed him again in an hour.

I suspected he had adrenal cancer because his fur doesn't grow back even after getting a disloren implant.  After hearing about these two ferrets and intestinal lymphoma I wonder about our ferret.
