Some of you may remember that I wrote about Antony's bladder troubles a couple times a few weeks ago. He had been straining when urinating and going many times a day with small outputs. Anyway, he had a slight bladder infection combined with enlarged prostatic tissue (we found the last out from an x-ray). He is seven years old with one remaining adrenal gland. Our vet special ordered some medication to help shring prostatic tissue called Flutamide. We give him .1 cc 2 x a day. He's been on it five days and still no change in symptoms. Unfortunately, this problem has led him to pee wherever he happens to be. Even in the cage he is now using non-litter box space and he was probabably had a 95% hit rate in the cage before. Out of the cage anything goes: corners, middle of the floor, even on towels and t-shirts strategically placed to keep ferrets going back to the litter box to do their thing. Sigh. And I think his behavior, which may be beyond his control, is rubbing off on our other two, Lexie and Babe, who have no excuse and used to be 100% hit rate in cage and 90% out of cage. Ah well, so I have some damaged carpeting. Has anyone else tried Flutamide for a similar problem and what has your experience been like? TIA.
