Just wanted to let you know that Jasmine acts like she feels a bit better. I started her on treatment for ulcers last Thursday. She is also on a low dose of pred. She still won't eat or drink anything, but she is more active and interested in what is going on around her, as well as wanting to be around the other ferrets again. This is certainly a positive sign and encouraging, I just wish she would eat something!! In the meantime, I am continuing to syringe feed her Chicken Gravy throughout the day. Poor thing -- everytime I come near her, its to shove something in her mouth it seems like, between the five medications and the feedings. I do have a question: When she had her stroke-like event a couple of weeks ago, I had noticed a small red spot on her right side, a little in front of her back leg. I had pointed out to the vet at the time, but he had no idea what it was and didn't really think it was related to what she was experiencing. It gradually faded over time, but was faintly visible, until last night, when it appeared bright red again. Most of it appears to be bleeding under the skin, kind of like a blood blister, or a very severe pinch. I checked her a gain this a.m. and it seemed a bit wider in diameter, though not much if actually at all. It still looked bright red this morning, like fresh bleeding, however later was darker. It is all under the skin except for the very center which appears slightly raised. It doesn't seem painful at all to her, though I did see her scratching in the general area once. Now it is very obvious because she hasn't regrown any hair in this area yet. A couple of my other guys have had mast cell tumors, but since they have thick fur, they aren't this obvious. Could this be it? Any other ideas? Since the last time I saw it was right before she got so sick, its really freaking me out to see it again, but so far she still acts fine. Thanks for any thoughts you may have, Lucie @-"-@ (=^ ' ^ =) o00 -\o/- 00o [Posted in FML issue 2668]
