My 6.5 post-op adrenal ferret (left one, 1.5 years ago) had a bladder infection on March 18. He passed blood and had a temp of 106, so my vet gave him a shot of antibiotics and something for the pain and prescribed Amoxy. The urination problem cleared the same day. He continued to have a temp, so the vet changed the medication to Clavamox on March 24. His bloodwork on the 18th was very good. I saw some improvement, as he resumed eating his dry food, but I had to supplement with duck soup. He went off his dry food again on April 5 and had a temp of 104 on the 6th and a return visit to the vet who changed the medication again to Lincocin Aquadrops, 1/2 cc daily. His spleen was enlarged a bit. Today he still has a fever and is a little uncomfortable, so I called and we agreed I could give him 1/4 child's aspirin. My vet says we have to give the new antibiotic five days. He says we may have to do exploratory surgery if this continues, something I would like to avoid at his age. Has anyone's ferret had a hard time fighting an infection? Thanks.
