[log in to unmask], 30 Jul 2005 13:53:57 -0700500_- I wanted some FML input on my current Idea I have a 5 year old ferret, a
2 year old and a 1 year old they all live together in one big cage. I am
starting to worry about my seniors teeth and wondering if I should start
supplementing her with senior food currently they all eat Totally ferret

it would be better to feed her some of it on her own when i let them out

0507 22388 34 86_JM from FHL: Omega 3 fatty acids reducing rate of kidney disease, Omega 6 worsening it14_Sukie
[log in to unmask], 30 Jul 2005 18:38:59 -0400656_- You referenced an article from Dr Scott Brown, VMD, PhD, ACVIM from the
University of Georgia. He has written many on this topic. Yes, the
fish oils have the omega 3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) that help to
reduce inflammation. In the kidneys, fish oils lower the amount of
the eicosanoids (prostaglandin E2 and thromboxane A2), which reduces
glomerular pressure and slows the progression of chronic kidney disease.
Omega 6 fatty acids (vegetable oils) increase the production of the
eicosanoids, increase glomerular hypertension, and speed up the
progression to end-stage kidney failure (death). That is one of the
reasons [...]35_30Jul200518:38:

Yes, the spleen will enlarge with a chronic illness (such as adrenal
disease, insulinoma, ulcers, heart disease, etc). In most cases the
spleen is compensating for the illness and is making red blood cells
(extramedullary hematopoiesis). If the spleen becomes enlarged enough to
cause pain, limit activity level, or cause constipation then it is time
to remove the spleen. Ferrets do just fine without a spleen, and they do
not have an increase in bacterial infections after removal like people
do. If your ferret is stable enough f
