In the Wall Street Journal today is an interesting article. Poultry treated with the two drugs Baytril and SaraFlox appears to be increasing the resistance of a number of human diseases to drugs. I mention this on our FML because in 1999, 17.6 percent of cases of campylobacter infections which cause gastrointestinal problems were resistant to fluoroquinolones-up sharply from 13.6 percent in 1998. It is very possible our ferrets may also have a problem fighting gastrointestinal problems =as they are exposed to the same antibiotics put in the chicken they eat. I am saving this article to show my vet incase I see pawing of the mouth or vomiting or anything indicating a possible gastrointestinal problem. Anyone thinking my logic is wrong-feel free to discuss this. I just write of this as I have been reading over the last year of a number of ferrets with possible gastrointestinal problems.
