Hey Everyone...Update on Meeko ,He`s doing extremely well...he even took some chicken baby food,which for him to eat anything but what he was raised on is nothing short of a miracle!However, this morning I believe I made a mistake and put way to much baby food in his soupie....figuring he now recognizes it as food.The little stinker took one lick,looked at me and turned his head away like a stubborn little child!He also tried to get away from me,he still has alt of upper body strength...it`s the back end that is a problem because he has blossomed...as the vet calls it(fluid build up etc.)The good news is he would not have put up a fight a month ago...now he is.My question is this...did I screw up by adding too much chicken to fast? Actually I do not believe this is the issue,reason being I remixed the food to what is was yesterday and still Meeko refused to eat except for a lick here and there.Maybe it`s a one time thing.I know ferrets can go down fast.I have gotten more info from all of you than most vets.I can only get to town every now and then.I`lll be here tomorrow after 11:00 am.Meeko is on 4mls of prednisolone a day...pretty tough on the tummy,plus he`s got insolinoma so not eating would affect his blood sugars.I know Tressie said not to panic ...well I do .It`s never a good feeling from day to day when you go to check on your little furkid,uncover him from the blankets and hope to God that he`s still breathing.Meeko has beaten the odds according to all the vets...buy I know that won`t last forever.Any help would be greatly appreciated.THANK YOU1 Jewels
