My 5 year old ferret is vomiting and having mucus diarrhea - Sunday, May 31, 2015 5:39 PM

hi I recently adopted a 5 year old male ferret he started having mucus diarrhea a couple days ago and lost his appetite so I've been syringe feeding him but today he started vomiting I have given him 20 cc sq fluids because he is horribly dehydrated he is going to the vet in the morning but the diarrhea is just running out of him I'm afraid he won't make it threw the night any suggestions would be great thanks!!

Even a hairball? I would definitely take him to the vet ASAP. Continue to keep him hydrated. Please keep us updated. Fuzzbutts Rule!

He needs something. Chicken baby food, canned cat food, anything. THE DOOKS OF HAZARD

Thank you! And he is still tired and weak but no more vomiting he's eating a little but still has diarrhea and is clearly not feeling great hopefully a few more days he will be back to him self. I've only had him a little over two weeks and I'm looking forward to many more so fingers crossed.

Mostly sore throat and malaise. THE DOOKS OF HAZARD
