we took him back to the vet yesterday...[thursday...4/3/03] they pulled blood again on him..and gave him a pain shot...[and sent me home with more pain meds mixed in some Hi-Vite...for IF he needs them]... he was out of it all night...worried the poop out of me... but he is better this morning... and he ate for me on his own!!...well, me holding the bowl of gravy and him on my lap..but he did the eating by himself..;-) ...that is SUCH a relief..as he had hardly had anything for 24 hours... only the few cc's we had forced down him...i hope this means he is turning the corner... he was still drinking water on his own...that was good... does anyone know more reasons than an ulcer for a ferret grinding his teeth for EVERYTHING?..and i mean everything...getting ferretone, drinking water, getting meds, eating...anything!...he stools are not dark...he is on carafate 3 times a day...we are pretty sure there is no ulcer...but can not figure out why he always grinds his teeth... k...that is all for now...but he seems better so far today...[it is only 7 a.m....;-) dr. beer will call me today with the blood test results..if they come back today... thanks for all your support thru all this...it really does help... love, kat ===== KITY=^..^=KAT and the Fuzzy Frenzy [17] http://www.geocities.com/ferretlover97 Missing my own...Rascal, LWG, Narmy, OldGuy, Pye, Sandi, Jack...and the biggest pieces of my heart...Sonny & Charlie...
