I have a 5 year old ferret with chf (being treated and they don't think the problem is with that) that has had issues walking for the last year...unsteadiness. But then all of a sudden went really bad for a couple days then is now unable to use his hind legs for walking at all. Had x-rays, ultrasound, and now a CT scan and they can't find any lesions or anything on his spine. He is losing fur on his back so they gave him a lupron shot but his adrenals and values all appear normal. Tried steroid treatment for spinal lymphoma but didn't help. Doctors are baffled and no idea what to treat. No idea if the hair loss is linked but it seems an odd coincidence in it happened 2 weeks prior to the complete lameness. He has feeling in his legs and responds to toe pinches but no desire to even paddle them to walk. Has anyone seen this or can offer any possible reasons? They don't think aleutians but did not test specifically. Thank you so much. scott and achilles [Posted in FML 6722]
