Swollen belly and feat - Saturday, February 03, 2018 6:31 PM
I noticed my 4 yo ferret's back legs were swollen. Then I realized his belly is swollen as well. I used to think he was just getting fat and heavy as it's winter and was eating lots of wet kitten food (Royal Canin) lately. He's also sleeping a lot in last 2-3 weeks and not playing as he used to. The ferret eats, drinks and poops normally. Maybe the poop is a bit runnier. So I took him to the vet on Saturday. The vet injected furosemide and took his blood for testing. Results will be ready by Monday. Also, he's getting an ultrasound on Wednesday. But now I'm starting to think he might be in pain! The ferret trembled when we got back home and I noticed he's breathing faster. I covered him with a blanket, but the vet had said the body  t° was fine. He also hides and sleeps a lot. What could I do to make sure he's not in pain and is not suffering until we find out what the problem is?  Ferret is still swollen.
