Well the vet is stumped by Roxie's illness today. For those who haven't seen my earlier posts Roxie is a 3 yo MF sprite who started "listing" and falling to her side. She stopped eating and drinking. She refused to play and seemed listless. I took her as soon as humanly possible to the vet (my area had a surprise 11 inch snow fall the night roxie got sick). The woman who runs The Ferret Gallery where I adopted roxie met me at the vet. The vet decided to keep her till today she said then. All she saw wrong with Roxie is she hadn't started blowing her winter coat, had some ear mites and had a somewhat swollen back leg. The vet did blood work and Xray. Roxie had no blockages (thank god) and tho her glucose was borderline low the vet thought that was from Roxie's lack of appetite. Well I called today and the vet said she wanted to keep Roxie there till Sunday cause tho Roxie is now drinking she is barely eating. Roxie was before she got sick 1 1/2 lbs and now is down to a pound! Thanks for everyone who wrote me . I haven't had my isp access till today cause of this bizarre weather! Keep my tiny girl in your prayers.. Maggie (Jake,roxie,patches the dog,Fred the parrot) [Posted in FML issue 1892]
