Sprouts weight is at 1 lbs 9.6 ounces which is about 12 ounces below his average. I've added ensure to his pureed turkey and he is more willing to eat it. I'm looking into ways to improve its nutritional value. Would adding a/d to the pureed turkey help? I've also moved to feeding him every three hours around the clock. Sprout is more alert and is walking around a lot more than he has the last few weeks. He appears more alert and interested in what is going on around him. I plan on continuing the feedings and adding more nutrition to his diet. Thank you to those who pointed out that pureed turkey alone was not enough nutrition. Will giving him Nutri-Cal? If so how much? Also thank you to the person who put forward the idea that maybe it was time to help him over the bridge. I know it could not have been easy to bring up that idea. Believe me that idea has been in my mind for weeks. ECE isn't suppose to be something that results in a ferret going over the rainbow bridge and ferrets with this often have good and bad days. Sprout seems to be having a very hard time with it. It is because of the very difficult time that he is having that I'm wondering if he has something else going on. Its too bad that food allergy and lymphoma have similar symptoms. I don't want to give up too soon but I also do not want him to suffer. Right now Sprout seems to be holding and in some ways (increased alertness and activity) seems to be some better. His weight is holding at 1 lbs 9.6 ounces and I will continue to watch that. I hope it starts climbing soon. Thank you Mike [Posted in FML 6740]
