About nine months ago, my four year old gib started to lose control of his hind end. He has slowly worsened over time. He still gets around quite well (drags his hind quarters), his appetite is very good, he's in no pain, and he tries to play. All tests and x-rays were normal. He's gotten to the point that he doesn't have very good bladder or bowel control and his penis is engorged. He "flinches" when your touch him around the base of his penis. Not like it was painful, but more like a reflex reaction. His urine shows some red and white cells. My vet put him on a steroid and an antibiotic. She wanted me to ask if anyone has had experience with degenerative myelopathy or spinal lymphoma in ferrets as she wonders if this could be my ferrets problem. Thanks for any help or suggestions.
