[log in to unmask], 5 Apr 2005 02:49:49 -0400588_- One concern in homes with ferrets is air cleaners. People want them to
be not only effective but safe. In our family wituster sweeps more and doesn't pway so
much as he used too. We had to move into the wittle house [...]38_15Jan200505:28:

I am moving to Jersey City NJ and am wondering if anyone can suggest a
ferret literate vet in either JC or (more likely) the Downtown NYC areas?
Has anyone had experience with the St Marks Vets downtown NY?

his spleen and his x-rays showed a growth in his belly They were not able
to get cancer cells from the needle biopsy in his neck only fat cells.
I didn't want them to do a needle biopsy in his spleen. His vet first
said 99% sure of lymphomia and with the x-rays, ultrasound, blood work
and high rate of ferrets getting lymphomia, then she said 100%. I didn't
want more tests, he was tramatized too much. I have him home and on
prednasalone. He is doing well. [...]40_15Jan200511:10:

>Has anyone found that they need to give insulinoma meds more often than
>twice a day.
Yes, we have had some who did better if the meds were distributed over
a 3X day schedule. A vet told me years ago that Pred action is over a
9 hour period so it makes sense that some would do better with the
medication every 8 hours as long as the individual didn't have any of
the rare (in ferrets) steroid side-effects like ulceration. [...]42_15Jan200503:40:

0.5 of a cc at 11:30pm. I also add 1/2 cc of honey to his evening recipe
serving. This seems to keep him somewhat stabilized unless I forget the
honey. I also noted that he was more likely to have a low sugar episode
if I gave carafate up to 1 hour before his pedipred so now I give it 1
hour after. The pediapred is 6.75mg/5ml. I try to keep him stabilized
on the lowest dosage possible because when he had [...]36_15Jan200512:16:
