Bonjour!
Victor is sick again... For those who don't remerber, Victor had a
surgery for insulominas and adrenal. Sunday morning I find him at 5:15 AM
quite weak and lethargic. I thougt that it was hypoglycemia again cause
since yesterday I was short of C/D and gave him baby food and I tried to
reduce Prednisone from 1 mg bid to .75 mg bid (2 weeks ago, I reduced from
1.25 mg to 1.00 mg with succes) So I gave him 1 mg of pred. and tried to
feed him... He didn't want to eat nor to take nutrical but he drank a
lot. He had 2 orange-mucoid stools. He didn't urinated.
As my vet's office was close, I find an other vet who tested the
glucose and found 204 mg!!! She gave him fluid (20cc), wanted to perform
an urine analysis but at 3 pm, still no urine. Body temperature 39,5. As
he would have stay alone for the evening and the night, I decided to bring
him home. His last glucose test was 229 mg... In my way back home, I
stopped to another vet to buy C/D. The vet wanted to see Victor and
suggested more fluid as he was very deshydrated. So she gave him 50 cc
more and she gave me a bag, needle, etc to give him more tonight. At home
he accepted to eat half a teaspoon of dilute C/D and finaly he urinated a
bit an one more liquid stool but green... Now at 8 pm he seems quite
deshydrated again but sleeps
What happens??? He didn't has any contact with other ferrets
than ours since 2 months and at the best of my knowledge, we didn't had
any case of ECE in Quebec. His last glucose test perform 10 days after
the surgery showed a level of 80 mg. I feed him at each 4 hours during
day time. Give him his pred. bid at each 12 hours. And I mix brewer
yeast with his meal. He gained weight after the surgery and a month ago
when he receive is boost vaccine he tipped the scale at 3 pounds...
I will be at the door of my vet's office tomorrow morning, but if
someone experienced that problem and can help me, please send me a
private e-mail with your phone number in case I need more emergency
explanations.
Thanks, Anne et...
