Please read ** VETS ESPECIALLY** My vet and myself believe that my ferret Smokey has ADV. He has all of the symptoms (including that coughing) and his blood work seems to confirm this. We were not able to send out for the United Test yet, my vet wants to wait until he gets a little stronger to draw more blood to run that test. I would appreciate it very much if anyone that has any experience w/ ADV could please contact me. My vet has never dealt with this before and only knows what little info is in her books about it. Please email me at [log in to unmask] with any information that you can possibly give. Anything that will help me and my vet to help Smokey would be wonderful... blood values, diet recommendations, medicines to help w/ supportive care, anything extra you have found that might help them.... please.. I also have 4 other ferrets, so I might be looking at a quite long run w/ this disease and anything, even just your personal stories about ADV will help me. I can write you back and give you any more information you might want to know. Thank you very much in advance. Jennifer, Smokey, Bandit, Booda, Diggler & Blue [Posted in FML issue 4123]
