My recently foster/adopted ferret Buddy has been diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, the last few days have been tough. Tomorrow he has an appointment with a cardiologist for a ultrasound, EKG and echocardiogram. The past few days I've printed tons of info from the FHL archives, www.miamiferret.org and am gathering more info today. I am armed not only with great information on what to expect, treatments available, but also a list of questions to ask the vet I'd not thought of on my own. Buddy and I would like to thank all those responsible for putting medical info on these sites, and especially Sukie, for hammering away at us to go to these sites and educate ourselves. Fuzzy Ear Licks to all of you. Please keep Buddy in your happy thoughts. He was surrendered last March, bald and sick, had two huge adrenal tumors removed. Diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, on Lasix that is loosing it's effectiveness. More needs to be done, after tomorrows appoint we will know what. Ardith and Buddy www.nnfn.net [Posted in FML issue 4554]
