I have just found your site and I hope there is someone out there who
can advise me.  I am digging though your FAQ's and hope I can find what
I require in there.
 
I hope you can help and offer some advice as to how I may best help my
ferret, Lottie.
 
I was given bad advice by a vet and did not get my female ferret spayed.
She is now two and seriously ill following becoming Hyper Oestragenic.
She is highly anaemic and very weak.
 
I have been given a liquid food as she is unable to eat solids.
The food is an product of America and is called "a/d"

Does this product contain all it needs to.  It is designed for cats and
seems very low in protein.  Do I needs to supplement it with anything?
I do hope you can help as I am having great trouble finding a specialist
vet in the UK.  Ferrets are still an uncommon pet.
 
She has had a hormone injection and a course of antibiotics to fight a
secondary infection.
 
Yours hopefully,
Wayne
 
PS, at the time she became ill her tail became covered in tint black spots,
is this related?
