Dear Kim,
Does your shelter test for ADV? If you test, do you also test your
personal pets?
This has been going on for over a month and your vet is not concerned? A
second opinion should have been sought. All of my ferrets have put on
beautiful heavy Winter coats, not gotten thinner.
Is he dehydrated? Does he drink a lot of water? I would suggest an open
water bowl instead of a bottle. They will drink more if they don't have
to work for it. I would immediately put him on Pedialyte.
Has Taz had a fecal study done? Has he had a CBC done? How old is he?
All the info you gave us was that his name is Taz and he is sick with the
geenies. I hope he has been isolated from the rest.
In helping you, more information is needed, but this is the FML, you need
an attentive vet and quick. But, as a shelter director you know this,
don't you?
You need funds to run your shelter, perhaps instead of spending on EBAY
you might want to run a fundraiser to help support your wonderful shelter
efforts. Thanks for all the great work you do as a transport, all of us
ferret lovers appreciate your efforts. I hope with your personal
financial crisis (as written on the FML) you have stopped taking ferrets
into your shelter. I hope money is not a reason why poor sick Taz has
gone sick for over a month.
Good luck and I hope life is improving for you. I pray Taz is properly
diagnosed and does a quick mend. I know you love him and are concerned.
I look forward to your response.
Sincerely, Joan Wont
