he is better thanx all. he was vomiting , not eating, and pooping very little (most of it was foreign object he got into). blockages are common in ferrets and is number one killer for those under two years old. they don't have a reflux mechanism so can't vomit so when they do they are very ill. they also need to eat every few hours and i needed to get food into his little body which was challenging and keep him hydrated by putting pedialyte into him too. off syringe feeding, he ate kibble on his own for first time last night and is playing and pooping again with no vomit. still trying to determine if we need to do a barium xray to make sure nothing is left as they can have internal damage, ulcers, IBS, etc. from a blockage. still giving lots of hairball remedy and pumpkin to make sure all is gone..one thing that bothers me is he has a new mannerism of sitting like a person and hunching can mean pain..still a bit paranoid. |

Do hope today has brought more improvements. It is such a worry when something so smal is unwell like that. At least you know what to look for I didn't know half of that. Keep us posted CM |

better today..played really hard..i would like to see more poop coming out though (funny how we want to see poop when they are ill). he was walking on his tippy toes while playing which would be amusing if i didn't have paranoia in the back of my mind (still checking for signs of discomfort/pain). but he walks normally not playing..maybe he was just being a silly baby. i am really broke to be honest and this vet has already taken hold checks from me and did the work to keep him from dying when he went into shock for free a few weeks ago so it would be really hard for me to ask them to do that again. then again if he becomes ill and i could have prevented it by swallowing my pride and asking someone to give me money i'd never forgive myself. probably just worrying myself to death but he is my little deaf baby..he has waardenburgs syndrome which can be similar to autism and he is very smart but a bit different and i've always fussed over him. |
