Hello again all you ferret lovers. I thank everyone who responde to my earlier inquiries about anaesthetic, it turns out that the vet who did Jasmine's surgery (the one who didn't make it) used isoflurane. Must have been something else. We just got Rikki back from the vet today. She had been depressed, not eating, sleeping A LOT, her stools were very loose and first green and then clearish yellow. She felt thin and dehydrated so I brought her in on Thursday afternoon. The vet put her on antibiotics, gave fluids subcutaneously, and kept her overnight. He still doesn't know exactly what's wrong. She has been acting and felling much better since we got her back. At least she's eating. Any ideas what it could be? (She's had all her vaccinations, so it shouldn't be distemper) Also, I know that this has been discussed before but I can't find it in my back issues. How do I get her to swallow a quarter dropper of antibiotics when she hates the taste? Can it be put in food or something to trick her? I try to hold her, but right when I'm done, she shakes her head and the stuff, which isn't cheap, goes flying. HELP! Any answers can be emailed to me directly if possible and I appreciate any help that anyone has. Thanks Matt and Juliane Petersen, [log in to unmask] Rikki Tikki Tavi (True Furry Little Thief) Gabby (Dig, Dig, Dig your way to a slimmer you) [Posted in FML issue 1221]
