My 7 year old adrenal ferret, Slinky, had a drop in temperature on
Christmas Day, 96.3.  I warmed him back up with a heating pad and he
continues to be fine.  No other symptoms.  He does not have insulinoma or
kidney failure.  He does have a heart murmur but no fluid or coughing.  I
spoke to my vet, Dr. Barrios (who I can't say enough about), two times
and he said to continue to monitor him closely.  He ate his duck soup well
yesterday and today.  He was normal until I was ready to go visiting.
Normal for him is being mostly inactive.  I knew his temperature was low
by touch.  I verified with digital thermometer.
 
Has anyone's ferret experienced a drop in temperature with no other
symptoms?  I really feared he was on the way out.
 
Regards,
 
Moxie and the Slinkster
