I have a friend whose 4 year old ster. male ferret, Herbie-Heartbeat, has
had 2 minor strokes a matter of days apart.  He recovered from the first
one with no lasting symptoms but is only slowly recovering from the second.
His vet has prescribed aspirin (sorry, can't recall the dosage), each day
to prevent further blood clots forming.  Does anybody on the list have
experience with this that I may share with the distraught owner.... eg
prognosis, holistic care, hope?
 
In the meantime, Herbie-Heartbeat is in my prayers and perhaps you would
like to include him in yours.
 
Thank you in anticipation.
Love & Dooks
