>Hi Sukie and all,
>
>The cases of FIP-like disease seen in ferrets are very similar to
>the dry form of FIP seen in cats. The dry form can be very hard to
>diagnose, but anemia, elevated globulins (polyclonal gamma globulins),
>and the pyogranulomatous lesions are what to look for.
>
>So far most of the cases have been young ferrets (<1yr). The clinical
>signs can vary alot as Sukie pointed out depending on which organ(s)
>has the pyogranulomatous lesions. GI signs and neurological signs are
>the most common signs so far.
>
>Merry Christmas to all,
>Jerry Murray, DVM
