Has anyone heard of systitis (sp?) in ferrets? I haven't seen it mentioned in the mailing list and recently heard of it. [Cystitis. It usually means, I think, a bladder infection. I had Haemorhagic (sp?) Cystitus when I was 16.] Some people I know have a ferret who is probably around a year and a half. They took him to the vet recently because he appeared to be having trouble urinating and it was a dark color. The vet (in Vermont) didn't know what was wrong and contacted someone in New Jersey who informed her how to treat the ferret. My understanding is that it is similar to kidney stones. From what they said, systitis is very life threatening for ferrets. Does anyone know anything else about this disease? Thanks Cindy & Polar Bear looking after our friend, Slinky [Posted in FML 0188]
