Hi there, i had a question for various vets about how much a ferret should urinate in a day. It seems to me that my ferrets have always drank a lot of water, but occasionally Potpie's consumption will escalate and an entire corner of her litter box will be sodden - 3 or 4 inches (i clean it once a day) worth. Is this normal? Friday drinks a little less, but urinates a LOT less. Friday's adrenal problem, according to Dr Daldin: the Dr. removed the left gland, which was about 4 or 5 times its normal size, and put her on Prednisone for a few days. She went on amoxicillin today for respiratory problems - the Dr had a tube down her throat for the operation, and since then Friday's been clearing her throat and coughing - she sounds like a coffee percolater more than anything else! Another note: Friday's on "limited activity" for the rest of the week. All of you can probably appreciate how hard it is to limit a ferret's activity - i've been having to watch her like a hawk, but even so, she'll still sneak away and start climbing the side of Potpie's cage when i step out of my room for a second. I wish she didnt have to stay caged so much, but it's for her own good... Potpie, who is definitedly right-pawed, Friday, '*sulk*' and Melissa, mmmm, gotta get another ferret. :) ++--++--++--++--++--++--++--++--++--++--++--++--++--++--++--++--++--++--++ Melissa Litwicki "It's big, sharp teeth and claws versus [log in to unmask] a mind of questionable wit." ++--++--++--++--++--++--++--++--++--++--++--++--++--++--++--++--++--++--++ [Posted in FML issue 1187]
