Hi everyone, Last night one of my ferrets, Benji, kept walking a little bit, then laying his head on the ground and flopping over. He had no energy, was extrememly hot to the touch, and appeared to be limping slightly on his left foot. Earlier yesterday he was playing with one of my other ferrets and cried out a little bit, but I don't know if this is related. We took him to the all night animal hospital an hour and a half away where they said his temperature was 106.9 deg. The normal temp for a ferret is 101 deg -- 102 deg. They kept him over night because they feared he might seizure due to his extremely high temperature and gave him some antibiotics and put him on a catheter. They called me this morning to say that he wasn't eating anything, which was understandable, but there does appear to be some trauma to his front left foot so they are doing bloodwork and x-rays. He was acting a little sluggish the day before, but nothing like last night. Does anyone have any idea what could have brought this sudden fever on? I have two other ferrets and both are acting healthy. Thanks for any input. Erica [Posted in FML issue 4034]
