will84 10 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 I have just got home from work and have gone out to feed the dogs and ferts and the ferts are not right! From there hutch to the run there is a section of pipe one of the ferrets was in there, tried calling her out an she was just wriggling couldn't seem to get out so pulled her put, her body is shaking like she's having a fit?! Her eyes are open but like she's blind?! Put her on the floor in the house an she just sort of tries to pull herself along like can't move her back end?! The other one isn't as bad but defo not right! Any info or help appreciated!! Quote Link to post

AndyKelly 251 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 sounds like a diabetic fit Quote Link to post
will84 10 Posted November 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Symptoms where the same as that, what I could find on the net anyway. Said this to the vet bit she said very unlikely as its caused by a tumor which usually occurs in ferts of 5 years and over, mine are 8 months?! And also with them both being ill at the same time would make it very unlikely. The surviving one seems to be doing ok now, so need to find her a new friend Quote Link to post

will84 10 Posted December 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 No she wasn't really sure what it might of been, the injection has worked on the other one she's right as rain now so must of been some kind of disease/infection Quote Link to post
