Hi, all. Only been on for a few days and loving it! (Happy 3000). First, I'm lookin' to adpot a ferret. If anyone knows of any in the Eastern Iowa area, please let me know. Second, my very first ferret (Fossa) crossed the Bridge in December, 1998, and I never was given a satisfactory answer from the vet as to what happened (unfortunately, I had just moved to Philly and had not established a good vet linkage yet). Fossa began to become lethargic (refused to eat or drink) and his pee -- and only his pee -- turned green. I took him to an animal hospital and they treated him for dehydration but suggested that I take him to a more knowledgeable vet in the morning (they gave me a reference). I did that and the second vet did not seem to know much more than the first, but did give a diagnosis: autoimmune hemolytic anemia. He gave intravenous fluids, prescibed prednisone (i believe -- but don't hold me to it) and said to give him a call if things didn't improve. Well, they did. Unfortunately, one week later, a woke to a scream; Fossa was in a major tonic-clonic seizure and had stopped breathing. I couldn't get to the vet fast enough. Has anyone ever heard of this in ferrets (the vet hadn't)? If not, can anyone give a more satisfactory explanation?
