Hello Everyone,
I talked to Dr. Bruce Williams world renowned ferret expert this evening.
And he said he thinks Ferrethead has just expierenced a very bad trauma
while out on his little venture into the "Great Outdoors".  To try and get
him up to play frequently throughout the day and to give him lots of TLC.
He thinks when I get my new ferrets that he will perk up a little.
 
He told me to stop the antibiotic as there is really no reason for it.  He's
eating, drinking, no bloody stools, gums are pink, no temperature,urinating
and pooping fine, no coughing or sneezing, just very inactive at the moment.
Why treat something that isn't there.
 
As far as the mites he said to clean the ears daily with Odiclense and put
the tresaderm in once a day one drop in each ear.  then stop the tresaderm
for a week , start it again for a week and stop it again this should clear
up the ear mites.  But continue to clean the ears with the Odiclense at
least once every couple of weeks after the mites are gone.  I am to wash him
with the flea and tick soap my vet gave me, this will take care of the mites
on his body.
 
And finally get him his distemper shot.
