Hi Bits.  I was hoping that you could post this on the FML for me please.
The FML got too big for me, so I unsubscribed.  Then I 'fixed' my hard
drive and lost my address book.  If you don't subscribe, could you please
forward it on to someone who does?  They can use this address for any
replies (French or English).  Merci!
 
I got this from a French mailing list; I think the messages may be
misleading.  To me, it sounds like the owner didn't know about the water
in the abdomen until after the diarrhea started:
 
"After spaying my ferret the vet found water in her abdomen.  The vet
didn't know the cause.  I'd like to get some information on this illness
and the appropriate care.  Thank you.
 
lors de la sterilisation de mon furet le veterinaire a trouvi de l'eau dans
son abdomenne.  le veterinaire n'en connait pas la cause.  j'aimerai avoir
tous les renseignements sur cette maladie et les soins appropriis.  merci"
 
"The other problem is that she's had diarrhea that's made her lose a
substantial amount of weight.  I didn't get too worried because the water
in her abdomen made her look rather plump.  What can I do to stop the
diarrhea and make her gain weight as soon as possible.
 
"l'autre probleme dont je veux vous faire part, qu'elle a eut des diahrres
qui a eut pour consequence une perte de poids importante.  je ne m'en etait
pas inquietie car l'eau contenu dans l'abdomen laissait parraitre plutot de
l'embonpoint.  que puis je faire pour stopper les diahrris, et lui faire
reprendre du poids au plus vite."
