Hello, What kind of diet is good for a ferret with kidney problems? My Ruby had adrenal surgery, with nodules removed from pancreas and messantery lymph gland (waiting for biopsy) and has a hard time bouncing back. It's been 8 days now since surgery. Her kidney function test was elevated. The rest of the labs (CBC, Chem, glucose) so far were good, this was yesterday. My vet left a message on my machine about the labs (I got home late from work) and I am calling him first thing in the a.m. He said to push the fluids, so I'm going to and sub q her also. She was on Amoxi and now is on clavamox and carafate. I am giving her both water and pedilyte unflavored. She also has a strange bruise which has turned into a shallow lump about the size of a half dollar under neath on her neck. Maybe an infection?? My vet and I are baffled, he never drew blood there and she wasn't injured there that I know of. It appeared 1 day after surgery as a bruise and then 4-5 days later developed into the lump. So if anyone has any ideas on this weird lump or any advice to give about any of this, I would appreciate it. thanks suzi P.S it has been 8 days post op and Ruby finally ate some kibble on her own. 2 pieces. I have been feeding and watering her around the clock. (chicken baby food, ground up ferret kibble, A and D canned food and ferretvite) I have had my mom help when I work. I haven't slept more than 3 hours at a time, I sure hope she gets better soon. She finally showed some energy and was bright eyed this p.M, so I am hopefull. Please say a prayer for her.
