The vet said since the last time we were there for shots, she's >only lost 3 oz. and she has a fever of 103.< Normal body temperature for a ferret is between 100 and 104 F. A temperature of 103 is not that unusual. I'm surprised that the vet would prescribe a "strong antibiotic" in that case unless there were some other observations. I don't want to second guess your vet - I'm not one, and haven't even seen Ona, but is you vet ferret knowledgeable? Maybe a second opinion might be in order. Dick B. [Posted in FML issue 2105]
