He began sleeping a lot for a few days, then suddenly began having seizures.The emergency vet wasn't sure what was wrong.Gave him an antibiotic injection and glucose to give him.
He continued to fit all night, I tried to comfort him and cried the whole time.
My own vet kept him in the next day but also seemed unsure.
Gave me home antibiotics,painkiller and special watern and food to syringe feed him.
He was weak but never had a seizure that night.
The next day i took him to the vet who wanted to put him to sleep.He seemed in no pain at that point so i took him home to say goodbye and asked the vet to phone the exotic pet hospital in the morning to see what else could be done.
Sadly he began to fit again that night and my sis and i decided we couldn't watch him suffer any longer.
The emergency vet put him to sleep.
He was lethargic,having trouble urinating,blood in urine, high temp and having seizures.
Don't think its insolumania, did i poison him ? Did he get brufen from my bag although i usually keep it zipped? Did i poison him with the odd bit of chocolate or the odd sweet? I didnt know it was bad for them and i had read ferret books.
Please don't be harsh, I've cried and tortured myself for 6 days solid. He was only one and a half and one of my prescious babies. i love and miss him so much.
I recently found that a small dose of diazepam would've helped his seizures, i just wish I'd gotten him to the exotic pet hospital or researched sooner.
I paid £160 and my baby died anyway. We buried him in a box in my sisters garden.
I am so miserable .
