Beta Heyalytic Ecoli is what took my little girls from me, manifested by black tarry stools and it is down hill in a hurry. This was confirmed at Virginia Tech's veterinary school. The two ferret vets in the valley are going to speak with another well known ferret vet and see if they can come up with more information on what can be done. It is my understanding that it was lying dormant in one of my girls and the other caught it from the others stool. As my kids always eat nothing but the best ferret food I can give them and nothing raw this is the only thing that makes sense to me. I am not sure of this or really anything lately but if any of you have heard of this and have an information on it please advise. Thank you Patrick and the 10 brothers and sisters left behind [Posted in FML 5483]
