First my husband gets a speeding ticket... two hours later he hits a pole ... I come home my expensive fish is half dead ... and worst thing of the day .. I think my ferret is seizuring! I walked into their room. The rest of the ferrets had already busted out of the cage. Maybe they were trying to tell me. I look in the cage and see NewGuy lying on his side panting. His body was not shaking. The pads of his feet were very pink. His chin was covered with saliva. Every few seconds he would pant very loudly exposing his tongue and teeth. It was over in about 5 minutes. I offered him some water which he drank readily, then looked like he was choking on it a few minutes later. Right now he is just lying here sprawled out on the floor. I am at a loss at what to do. Its close to midnight. I mean i know i need to call the vet, i just need to know what i can do to make him as comfortable as possible until he can get there. Thanks for any insight. Nichole and the 9 fuzzies [Posted in FML issue 3887]
