First of all I want to say a heart-felt thank you to all of the people who have written with advice and information. My ferret Tigger is still sick, but is hanging in there. She has not gotten any worse, and may be slightly improved, but only slightly. The last test she had was an upper GI, which showed a lot of inflammation of the stomach. My vet suspects either Helicobacter or Campliobacter (not sure about the spelling), but he gave me medication to give her on Saturday. My vet also did a stool culture, but does not have all the results back on that yet. I am still having to force feed her, but apparently I am doing a good job of it. She is not losing any weight or getting dehydrated. She will wander around and explore a little for about 10 minutes at a time now, but will not really try to play. I am beginning to worry, because this has gone on now for 2 weeks. While she is not getting any worse, she doesn't seem to be getting better in a hurry either. Although she has only been on her latest medication 4 days now. I am beginning to wonder about IBD or something like that. Suggestions?
