Vet is very happy with his activity level and appearance! He's gained some weight again(from 860 to 890 grams in 10 days!!!) Since we've found his triggers seem to be any sort of fowl, it's now OFF the menu entirely- this includes chicken, turkey, cgh AND duck.
She also seems to think that his IBD can be controlled(for now) with diet, supplements, and the occasional administration of metro.
I was quite surprised- she's really interested in how he does on the supplements he's getting, especially the reishi. So I'm to keep her updated on that. She also thinks his prognosis is really good, as long as we can keep his IBD basically controlled with diet.
And the best part that I found out tonight? They have someone training in holistic care!!!!! Although she's not overly familiar with ferrets right now, the owner of the clinic(my vet) is a "ferret person", and the vice president of the local rescue, so there shouldn't be any problem with accessing her knowledge of holistic treatments, and having her work with the ferret vets on it
