I think that one of my fur kids may have Cardiomyopathy.  She seems to have
a lot of the symptoms that are listed in A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO FERRET CARE.
We took her to the vet, but he thought she probably had the flu, as we
all had it over the holidays.  It has been 2 weeks now and she isn't any
better.  What I would like to know is what kind of TESTS should I ask for
at the vets?  Or what kind of tests do vets use to diagnose the disease?
She had a full body x-ray when she went in for the flu and the vet said her
internal organs looked OK.  They also did a blood work up.  That was OK
also.  She has been on Bob Church's Gravy since her kidney tried to shut
down about 4 months ago.  That could account for the Good blood work.  Any
help or ideas would greatly be appreciated.  We have an appointment for
this Sat.  1-29-2000.
 
This list is a great source of information.  Thanks for the help.
