I have a question, that I hope someone has either been through or has heard of something similar and might have an answer for me. I'd even appreciate any suggestions, that might help. I have this little ferret, that was brought to me from the police. He weighted 1 lb 8 ozs. I have no information on what has happened or what all this poor baby has been thru. I won't go into details of what I have tired or done at this point. The problem is this little guy will not eat. I had him with me for 4 days and force fed him, Monday I took him to the vet and he has been there all of this week. He is re-hydrated now and feeling much better. But still will not eat. His bowels are black and thick. The blood culture came back Negative. He has been force fed all week. The vet thinks he has a ulcer from the stress of being lost and out on his own. But nothing else is showing up and we have no ideal of why he refuses to eat. We have tired everything possible, including things he should not have, but anything just to get him to eat. I'm going to pick him up from the vets to stay with me for the weekend. Please anyone with any ideals, send them to me so I can try to help him. Thank You so much, Jan Nelson [Posted in FML issue 4576]
