Hi all, Our 4 year old ferret, Farty, has been vomiting occasionally over the last couple days or so. I first noticed this on Thursday and then he vomited again today. His recent medical history is an unsuccessful adrenal surgery in August (affected gland was solidly attached to his liver and vena cava), and an emergency visit to the vet in July, that I think was a matter of being overheated. They took blood and did a fecal and came up with nothing (except a $350+ bill). We have been in the process of retiling their room. We were having them out there to play (they are up in the main part of the house right now when they're caged, due to the warm weather) with some of the flooring not completed (there was just regular concrete underneath). Worrying that they were getting sick from something out there, we kept them caged for the last 2 days. I finished the tiling today, swept and mopped their room and cleaned everything up and then put them out to play. As soon as I got them out there, Farty started throwing up. I am not so sure it has anything to do with their room since his vomiting episode Thursday started about 18 hours after they had been out to play last. Another of our ferrets, Weasie, had been having episodes of heaving/vomiting a little bit of liquid maybe 3 or 4 times over the past week to 10 days. I believe she has also started to develop insulinoma, as about a month ago, she was almost in an insulinoma coma but we successfully brought her back with honey. Since then, she has been getting duck soup 2-3 times a day everyday and has regained her weight and is alert and energetic. So, could these two be related? Could there be something in the house that has been making them sick? If so, why arent our other 4 affected? They are never out in the house, only in their playroom and everything has been cleaned. We were in the habit of giving them ferretone (probably too much) everyday when they went out to play, but we've stopped that, to see if that was the culprit. Something tells me that has nothing to do with it, as I would imagine too much ferretone might cause diarrhea, not vomiting. I have become more and more disenchanted with our "ferret" vet, as he had never even heard of ferrets living with no adrenal glands! He also knew nothing of melatonin implants, and had never even heard of using melatonin tablets for ferrets who arent candidates for adrenal surgery! We used to have an excellent ferret vet, but last year she quit at her clinic and now just does emergency work. The somewhat clueless vet is the one who did the adrenal surgery for Farty and Chunky, and after spending over $450 for Farty's failed surgery, I cannot afford to take him to another vet to see if he can do anything more. The next closest ferret vet to us, I believe, is over an hour away. The last thing I want to do is to spend another $350 at the clueless vet for him to tell me he doesnt know what's wrong with him. Please, anything you can tell me would be appreciated!
