I was approached by somebody who is worried that her ferrets may have worms and was asked what wormer to use... I thought Panacur/ Fenbendazole sounds like a...
Hello, My ferret Vivi, who will be 7 in November, has flu like symptoms: runny nose (clear discharge), watery eyes, sneezing, lethargy, diahrrea (brown &...
First things, first, though. Has the vet checked to make sure that there are worms? Ferrets don't often get worms, though they can get some types. Dr....
The second edition of _Ferrets, Rabbits and Rodents, clinical medicine and surgery_ says Fenbendazole 20mg/kg PO q24h x 5 days whereas the second edition of...

His glucose came back at 62 after a 5 hour fast. He is a 2 1/2 lb boy. Sorry for questioning again, I dont understand. Thanks for the help. Andrea Sukie...
Okay, so the basics: Your ferret: glucose: 62 after a 5 hour fast. 2 1/2 lb weight 5mg/5ml. Give 1 ml twice a day Notice what units mg/kg you have to get to to...
Another thought: also check to see if perhaps your vet wrote down "point one" for the starting number but someone didn't put the zero in front of the decimal...
I noticed in an earlier post that you mentioned chemotherapy and talked about glucose numbers that varied from a very low number to a number in the 80s after a...
Hi, My ferret (5 years old and adrenal disease) had his second lupron injection today. But, since this injection, he vomited all the food he ate (3 times). ...
Jen, has Vivi been exposed to anyone with the flu or sinus infection to your knowledge? How did you get her bg? Prick a pad or tail? Trim a nail close? A...
Hi, first I like to let you no that I am owned by 3 fuzzies. Two of which past away in May which leaves me with 3 now. but my little guy he's a runt and hes...
Hi Sukie, First, thanks so much for all your help. To answer your questions, yes this is the same ferret that went thru the chemo for insulinoma. It seemed...
I don't personally understand why it happened, but make certain your baby gets lots of fluids because they can dehydrate quickly. You may want to pick up a jar...
Hi, all. Well, we've had a really good last couple of months with Bear. After his last Lasix episode, we stopped Lasix and he really bounced back. We haven't...
I have a question. My boy Koda, who had a toxic reaction to a Ivermectin shot is still about the same. He can stretch, curl, lift his head and turn it, but...
I can think of two possible reasons but it would not surprise me if your vet has more. 1. Looking for an alternative disease which --in addition to his...
I forgot to add, Koda doesn't use a litter box, he mainly just goes where he's laying or scoots around a little to get out of his sack. But if I place him over...
Thank you Sukie. Koda was discovered to have insulinoma when he was in the hospital, and is on 1/2cc of prednislone twice a day. I was wondering if during this...
... Well, according to past posts from Dr. Bruce Williams there have been no documented cases of actual strokes in ferrets. Since they don't tend to have...
I have seen these numerous times in ferrets with general ulcer problems, especially if they are on other meds, particularly cardiac meds. It's the first thing...
I was able to have Vivi seen at the emergency vet yesterday after I posted. They admitted her and have her on an iv and are syringe feeding her every 3 hours,...
So how do I know if Koda has/had Thromboses? Is there something in a blood test that will show it? Or maybe an ultrasound? I forgot to mention that when Koda...
... It will take time for him to gain strength. If he is depressed or has other health problems, it may take him longer. Somewhere you mentioned that he is...
Glad to hear she is eating on her own. The pred should help raise her BG and make her feel better, which will help her do more on her own. About the bruise. Is...
Is it definitely a bruise rather that an enlarged organ showing through? You said that one adrenal could not be found. Are you sure which one it was? I ask...
I have a 5.5 yr.old ferret.He lost is cage mate a few months ago and ever since then he hasnīt been as active and playful as he was before, because of his...
Another possibility if the treating vet says it is okay would be to modify a pantyhose sling. It sounds like you would need to have a larger body sling and a...
I can't give you advice about his treatment, but I do think that the vet is overdoing it a bit with the Fortekor. My 5 kg cat gets half a Fortekor 5 or a whole...
