This is my first time posting a question, but I love to read all the postings everyday. Let me get to my question. I have a 2 year old female name Josie that has lost alot of weight over a 6 week period, seems very tired and non-playful, drinks alot of water, and has a slimy soft stool, and seems to chill easily her appetite is good. I took her to the vet today and she did not have a fever or any parasites in her stool, they tried to take blood, but could never find a vein, they even sedated her but no luck. She was very dehydrated and the vet had to give her fluid under the skin. She does not have any hair loss. The vet gave me an antibiotic to give her twice a day for 2 weeks. Then if things get worse I am suppose to bring her back to do a ultrasound or something. If anyone has any ideas on what could be wrong please let me know. I also have another ferret and should I be worried about it contracting it? Diania West Virginia [Posted in FML issue 2977]
