Dear Barb and all others with ECE, I am in Alaska and I to feel like this is a nightmare that I will never wake up from. I am beginning to feel frantic and frustrated. This has been going on for over 2 months. I have a shelter and currently have 17 ferrets. They have all gone through this, unfortunately not all at the same time. I now only have 2 that are still very sick. Roxie is eating and drinking on her own finally but this morning I noticed that her stools were back to the consistancy of water. I am watching her food and water intake very carefully. Chena is the one I am most worried about. He has been on sub q fluids for about 3 weeks now and has eaten nor drank anything on his own. I feed and water him with a medicine syringe every 2-3 hours. My vet suggested taking him off the Clavamox, because that can sometimes cause diarhea. He is getting Kaopectate 2-3 times a day, but that no longer seems to be helping. It got better for about a week after I started kim on the Kao but now we a back to what looks like pure water for stools.Just today I started to gime him some yogurt in the hopes of introducing some good bacteria. I jaust want to wring my hands. I am going to give it 1 week more then run a CBC to see if there is something more we can do for him. If not I may seriously have to look at letting him go. He is absolutely the most depressed looking little guy and all he does is sigh that heavy sigh every time I pull him out of his cage and just peers at me with the most sorrowful expression. It is so hard when you know that you are doing all the right things but they are just not strong enough to fight it themselves. If only I could give him a little of my gumption... Please let me know how yours are doing. Prayers and warm fuzzies to you and yours and I hope there is a cure soon. TTFN< Diana and The Ferret Farm [Posted in FML issue 2426]
