I was wondering if lasix has any side effects? Tygger (2.5 pounds, five months old) has been taken 1/4 of a 12.5 mg lasix pill twice a day for almost two weeks now to treat cardiomyopathy. The first week he was on it he seemed pretty normal, and his coughing completely stopped. And while he hasn't coughed this second week, he sure doesn't seem like the same old Tygger. Before, as soon as he got out of his cage he'd start happily dooking loudly and want to play with us for hours, now he just seems tired and depressed. He doesn't dook, and while he'll investigate the room he really doesn't want to play either, with us or with his sister. OH! And while he lays around a lot more than normal, he's really listless either lays there awake and stares ahead or wakes very easily. Could this be from his medicine? The cardiomyopathy? Something else? He seems to be eating/pottying normally. And of course I'm crazy worried, like always! :) Thanks, Deborah Tygger and Pooh in MI Pam- You mentioned in one of your posts that three was the perfect number of ferrets to have. Why? Now you've got me curious and wondering if we should adopt another baby... I'm wondering if this Ferret Union (shh don't tell my fuzzies!) awards a most eccentric humans award? If so, can I put my husband's and my names in the running? Believe it or not we are thrilled to be moving mainly so that our little Tyg and Pooh can have their own room complete with fun center, tubes, deluxe four story condo and all the amenities. And I thought I was an eccentric pet owner before I had ferrets!!! Now everyone thinks we're nuts! Perhaps instead I should put Tyg and Pooh's names in as "Most Spoiled Ferrets"?!? If I only would have known three months ago how much these little guys would change our lives! [Posted in FML issue 1177]
