Male Ferret Having Trouble Walking!!! - Tuesday, April 14, 2015 10:03 PM

We have a 5 year old male Ferret named Smokie. Smokie is having trouble walking on all fours, we have taken him to the vet twice already and they have no idea what is wrong. They have done glucose tests and they come out normal. He eats and drinks normally, his hydration is good. The only problem he has is getting to the litter box, we are using doggie pads.

When he is out is dragging himself all over the floor.

Did you fast your ferret for the blood glucose test?

A spinal injury or tumor could cause paralysis in his rear legs. Does he use them at all? THE DOOKS OF HAZARD

I would have an xray done to check for injury or tumors. Fuzzbutts Rule!
