Just dropping a note to thank everyone who has sent information to help me with my ferret. I am using "Timmy's diet" that was sent to me by Gary Holowicki. Fortunately, he likes it. He won't eat completely on his own, but he will lap it up readily from a syringe, if I am holding him. I think really he likes the pampering while he's sick. We still do not know what is wrong. The last x-ray showed a lot of fluid in the chest. It was hard to read, but I'm hoping it's just pneumonia, because some of the others are worse. My boss has suggested the possibility of a mass being anterior to the heart, or even that the lung is collapsed. We are going to x-ray again. He's been on lasix and Baytril, and I hope for a clearer x-ray now that the fluid seems to have been alleviated. He is acting better, but is far from normal. Still skinny, still staggers sometimes, urine still a little greenish. Also his stools, although they appear normal at first glance, are very mucousy. I'm tending to associate this with the antibiotics and his gut flora, and the change in diet, but I am keeping an eye on it. We worry about him constantly, but as he hasn't gotten worse, at least it isn't constant panic. Again, thanks to all who have helped me with Nidhoggr, I will keep posting the progress. And if anyone has any other ideas, I am always open to suggestions. Thanks Pamela Paasche O'Hearn [Posted in FML issue 1914]
