I was asked by Lori Sies to post this to the FML. Her message follows. Please put this on the FML for me. I really worried about King Subject: Ferret Illness Help! Fluid buildup in the lungs. My male two year old ferret within a few days got pulmnary edema & congestion and pleuritis (layman terms - he was drowning, his lungs were filled with fluid and around his lungs was filled with fluid). The vet treated him and he was on his way to recovery and week and half later his lungs started filling up again. The blood test came up with nothing. Hematocrit 48%, Nqe??typhils 4,600 59%, Lymphocytes 27%, Monocytes 4%, Aleutions Negative, Some ban cells present resolving normal morph., Hypoersleniam. He showed no signs of illness before this. After clearing up the lungs, the new x-ray shows an enlarged spleen. He is losing weiight and not eating like he should. Staying dehydrated even after hydration. The two ferrets he's housed with are fine, everyone in the household is fine. Looking for an answer to what might be causing the fluid to build up or if someone else has had the same problem. Please e-mail if you have any ideas. mailto:[log in to unmask] Kathy & Rick Schradin Ferret Warez http://www.ferretwarez.com [log in to unmask] (513) 398-6947 [Posted in FML issue 3443]
