Hello there. Several days ago I asked about 2 items that they had found on Sadie's autopsy. I didn't get any responses and perhaps it is something that no-one knows. My vet is a good ferret vet and is experienced in ferrets and even she didn't know. Does anyone have any insite. 1. What causes a fatty liver? 2. What causes the back end of the stomach lining, leading into the intestines, to harden? 3. (Sorry, I said there were only 2 questions and I guess there are 3 - however, 2 are related to the autopsy so I didn't lie. The third one is a bonus.) What can be done, if anything, to prevent these things from happening? Thanks a million for any input that you can give. Again, please e-mail me directly and also post to the FML so that others can learn from it too. I know that fatty livers have been mentioned before but I cannot remember what was said and I have no clue as to find it on previous FMLs. Take care. Tryntje Miller. [Posted in FML issue 2555]
