    Sebastian has Liver issues...



    My goodness, it's just over a month since we lost our ferret Miko and now I get the bad news from the vet that Sebastian has inflamation in the liver, shown by Saturday's blood test. I have to go after work today and pick up antibiotics and antioxidants for him.

    He's been off of his kibble for a while, but would still eat the chicken soup. I thought maybe he was missing Miko and would get back to normal soon. That didn't happen. He's losing weight and won't even eat ferret treats - which he always loved.

    So, here I go again, hoping my Sebastian will be alright. He's my last ferret from the original brood. This is so not fair.

    Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear this. I will be praying for your sweet Sebastian.
    I can't vouch for this product yet, as I'm still waiting for it to arrive...but I've read a lot of good reviews online for Rosie's Rosedust. Maybe you could consider this to jumpstart his appetite.
    It's so hard when they don't eat..I'm going through it now with my cat, Nipo. You and your furry family will definitely be in my thoughts!! ((((HUGS))))


    Many thanks to Roxyluvsme13 & k9krazee for my great new siggy!!

    I'm so sorry to hear this. Maybe the stress from Miko's passing brought on these problems. I hope he gets well soon.

    Thanks everyone. I had to call the vet this morning. Sebastian's been on the meds since Monday evening. Had him out last night and after wrestling with my fleece pants he decided to fall asleep in them. He has never, ever fallen asleep anywhere but in his cage and then it is always grudgingly. Had him out this morning before work and he did it again. So I called the vet. I am to keep him on the meds for a few more days and see how he does. Likely we'll be seeing the vet again on Saturday as she thinks his "disease" is making him slow down.

    On top of all the pet issues, I had my first mammogram on Monday morning, I have to go back at 10 am today, Wednesday morning, for more films. And the sweet woman told me not to stress!!
