Well, Meltie bled again, but this time we got see the origin, and even though it doesn't smell like it it's from her bowels. She's been started on Pepto. [Right now we have the liquid. WHAT is the 1/4 teaspoon equivalent for the solid regular?] Tomorrow if this has not stopped or is looking at all off the vet (Dr. Hollo who runs the practise -- Hanan is away till Monday, but Dr. Hollo is a really solid one and our ferrets which have met him all like him, while we love the way he apologizes to them when he has to do something unpleasant.) will be starting her on antibiotics. Hopefully it won't get worse, or does not signify an additional complication. All we can do is ride it out if she stays in reasonable shape. Treating for possible helicobacter flare up is certainly an option, BUT how STRESSFUL is it since she's well into stage four cardiomyopathy, and would the medicines used be in CONFLICT with her Enacard, Digoxin, or Furosemide? , this is not a good night.
