Hi all.  My female ferret, Rhea, is having some difficulty lately.  I've
spent over $160 now at the vets.  I think she has a discharge when she
urinates, and then litter, well..  it tends to stick to her private area.
i end up soaking her in warm water for a few minutes until the obstruction
comes loose.
 
doc says she's emptying her bladder so he's not worried.  i changed the
litter brand, and even used paper towels for a while.  she stops using the
pan altogether when it's not filled with litter.  i can't seem to convey to
him that this is a real problem for us.  this has continued for weeks now.
 
docs says bladder infections are uncommon, but we tried antibiotics
anyway - they just made her throw up, so that was futile.  she even had
x-rays, and she seems to be in good health.  (they were looking for stones)
 
anybody else having this problem?  got any ideas?  e
