After the stones are removed, have >them analyzed to see what type of stone they are. Your vet can consult >with the stone lab at the University of Minnesota and the stone lab at >UC-Davis to see what diet changes they would recommend and what dose of >potassium citrate (if they are calcium oxalate ) they would recommend. > >Hope that helps, >Jerry Murray, DVM Carried with author's permission to the FML by FHL co-moderator: Sukie (not a vet) Recommended ferret health links: http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/ferrethealth/ http://ferrethealth.org/archive/ http://www.afip.org/ferrets/index.html http://www.miamiferret.org/fhc/ http://www.ferretcongress.org/ http://www.trifl.org/index.shtml http://homepage.mac.com/sukie/sukiesferretlinks.html [Posted in FML 6070]
