Can anyone provide me with advice on how to care for a paralyzed ferret? He has two compressed vertebrae and the sad part is that my vet said it's the type of injury that could have been helped if his owner had gotten vet care right away. However, he kept him for a month after the injury and then released him to our shelter (along with his other three adult male ferrets each weighing only slightly over 1 lb. each!) I'm expressing his bladder twice a day which is now keeping him dry. He gets around rather well using his two front legs. Anyone every used acupuncture or any other type of treatments for this type of problem? Any success? Any ideas? Sandi Best Little Rabbit, Rodent & Ferret House Seattle, WA [Posted in FML issue 1998]
