I am a new member to the list but I am not new to ferrets. My name is Diana and I have a shelter in Fairbanks Alaska. I have had ECE running through all my ferrets for about 6 weeks now. Ay this time I am only giving sub q's to 1 but he is not getting any better, I give him 1ml of kaopectate 3 times a day but still his diarhea persists. About 2 weeks ago it appeared to be getting better but then he took another dive and we are right back where we started. He was the last ferret to be introduced to my shelter and was also the last to begin to show symptons. I have quarantined myself and am sending any new ferrets to foster homes until I can begin taking them. I will also concentrate on placing those in foster care first. I want to hang on to this bunch for the next 6 months to make sure all will be well. Chene is an older male that was found in an outhouse at a lical campground. His health was not the greatest upon arrival but he was eating, playful and I had hope for him. He seems to be the worst of the entirs gang. I am force feeding him and giving him water out of a medicine syringe as well as sub q. I just cant seem to help him get rid of the Diarhea. He is also getting clavamox 2 times a day. I would greatly appreciate any advice from anyone who has been through this. TTFN Diana and the ferret farm [Posted in FML issue 2422]
