Hi everyone, I've been lurking on the list lately, but something just came up with my Lola that I needed to ask advice on. She's not young-- going to be eight this year-- but other than adrenal surgery five years ago has been very healthy. However, today I tried to rouse her for playtime and cuddle time, and she was very lethargic. The thing you have to understand about Lola is it is her mission in life to kiss and groom me. Preferably my tummy, but she will smooch whatever she can reach. She is licking my toes as I write this! But maybe half an hour ago, I picked her up and cuddled her inside my bathrobe, and she did NOTHING. She was grinding her teeth a little bit; other than that just lying there. I offered her Ferretone, which she showed only mild interest in. Gave her some hairball remedy in case her tummy was bothering her. I sat with her in the living room, where she is normally not allowed and always tries to explore, but she just lay curled up with me. When I put her down on the floor, her hind legs seemed very wobbly; she would try to walk somewhere but end up listing to the side and flop over. Minutes later, she was completely over it, and like I said is now back to licking my toes and begging to be picked up. I did some searching on hindlimb weakness, and Lola's behavior seems scarily similar to the symptoms of hypoglycemia. I'm going to try to get her to the vet tomorrow, but in the meantime does any of this sound familiar to anyone? At first I was petrified-- Lola has been with me for seven years and hasn't had a health problem in five. She still gets the crazies, even if she is a bit old and creaky. She is the loviest ferret you could meet. Any thoughts? Thank you so much, please send Lola your good thoughts. Rachel, Lola, and Pukka [Posted in FML issue 5166]
