In response to Charlie's post, re: ferret can't urinate, I had a male 1 1/2
year old ferret who developed bladder stones. He strained to urinate in the
litter box and made little cries. An x-ray confirmed bladder stones. He
was fed S/D feline canned food mixed with chicken broth and heated to break
down the stones. Then we put him on the dry version. After than I fed him
Neura Special Diet which is the natural equivalent of Hill's C/D. He is now
5 years old and still eating Neura S.D. mixed with Totally Ferret, which
also prevents reformation of stones and has never had a recurrance. I don't
know how far you are from Lake Wales, FL, but there is an experienced vet at
Lake Wales Veterinary Hospital, 2748 Highway 27 North, Lake Wales, FL 33853,
(813) 676-1451, Dr. Thomas Schotman. I found their fees reasonable when I
lived there.
Good luck.
