GlacierI know there are quite a few of you out there using the Biaxin protocol for ulcers, so here's a 'heads up'. I was given Biaxin for a bronchial/sinus infection. I am in the 1% of people who shouldn't take Biaxin and you wouldn't recognize the symptoms if you weren't looking for them. First thing I noticed was a very nasty taste that does not go away once the drug gets into your system, and it stays there for 24hrs on one formula. Then on day 4, the back of my throat blistered. By day 5 my gums had become painful and begun to swell. And today, day 6, my tongue blistered. I know! Why didn't I report this to my doctor?!? I did. Today. He said it couldn't be the medication or my lips would have swollen too. Not being the trusting sort, I started reading up on Biaxin, then I called the pharmacist since its 2am here and no one else is awake. She looked up Biaxin and found the same things I did. Tomorrow I will be back giving the doctor a piece of my mind, but if it can affect a human that way, there is the possibility it can affect your ferrets the same way. Remember it is a very small percentage in humans and the symptoms would be hidden or could be easily mistaken for something else in our ferrets. Just watch those gums, tongue and throat carefully.
