AND I AM WORRIED. I am hoping it just stress from the move from one house to another. Her first 4 days here seemed fine, she might have had a system overload being introduced to 2 cats and an 8 year child. Her poops were fine, solid, brown and plentiful, to me a sign of good health. I never really did see her eat much, though I did offer her a mix of the food her other mom fed her, plus added it to my Iams and ferret food. She drinks plenty of water, even this morning she was drinking and even played bobbing for raisins. This afternoon I noticed she seemed to slow down a bit, then I noticed her stools were getting softer and the last 2 she had were mucousy and light yellowish brown, as I was cleaning that one up, I saw her dry heaving, produced nothing. Her eyes are clear, no discharge from nose. Her body feels to be the same temp as before..( being only familiar with cats and dogs, how does one temp a ferret..correct me if I am wrong..the temp runs between 102.8 and 104..??) I palpated her tummy could not feel anything nor did she resist or react. I gave her some petromalt which she took, I was thinking maybe she is blocked..I dont know what to think..I cant think clearly when it is my own that is sick. I do know she likes to chew things up, things that Chandler never gave a second thought to, so I have omitted alot of toys from her stash.PLEASE IF ANYONE has any thoughts on this..please e-mail me. And one other thing..What does a one dot tattoo mean..it is on her ear. Thank you June, Chandler and Socks [Posted in FML issue 2547]
