Does anyone have experience with ferrets post stroke? Frieda had an episode Wednesday, and we just got back from the vet [Th am]. Would lowering the dietary fat intake help prevent another episode. The one yesterday is actually her second one that I observed, the first was about 6 months ago. She is showing definite impairment down her left side, but just minor stuff except her left hind leg. She is eating and drnking OK and I'm going to separate the pair briefly to check her stools. She'll be 6 years old on 3/29/94. She seems overall to be a pretty happy camper, but if changing her diet some could help reduce the likelihood of another CVA, I'm all for it. If not, we'll just keep wobbling along with TLC and tincture of time. Her current diet is Iams cat maintenance dry. BTW, the vet who examined her thinks the location of the clot [or lesion?] is upper spinal column or cerebellum. I understand heart attacks much better than strokes, so even though I made him tell me twice, I may have misunderstood. Janice and the zoo PS I'm heading to DC 3/26 - 29.
