Hello everybody, I need help, but a little history first: 2 of my ferrets are in the process of being diagnosed for not eating. It seems like Squiggy has an ulcer (not eating, diarreha, teeth grinding) and he's responding well to Pepcid and he now eats his gruel from the saucer. Since his bloodwork came back normal, our vet is going to prescribe Sucralfate this weekend, so that's great. But Louie is still undiagnosed. He wasn't eating or pooping and his stomach was gurgling, so we took him to the vet for an exam and a barium series. The good news was that there was no blockage of any kind, but the vet felt a mass behind his stomach. She sent him home with amoxicillin and pepcid and told me to give him gruel too. Unfortunately, Louie acts like having a syringe near him will kill him. He squirms and turns his head away when I get close. I read that I could swaddle him, but my attempts have been in vain. Does anyone have any other suggestions or proper instructions on how to swaddle? I really hate being the mean lady with the syringe, but he's still not eating on his own, so I may be in this position for some time. Thank you so much!
