Should I be worried?
Tia has lost 45g in about 8 days. This doesn't sound much but she is only tiny anyway (620g now 575g)
Now this has happened before, when I got her a friend. He was returned and it was put down to a gut infection bought on by stress. She was antibiotics for 4-6 weeks. (She has since lived on her own)
I am worried as in the other half of her shed (not in contact) I have a new group of 3. Surely she isn't stressed at these? She is a very laid back ferret, had been to shows, been in boarding in a shed full of other ferrets (seperate from her) with no problems - she just doesn't like contact with other ferrets. Is it just the change, or does she hate the new ferrets being there, even if she can't see them? Should I get her back on anti b's to kick any infection and hope that she settles down?
Or am I over-reacting! She is 100% in herself, still eating normally, drinking fine, her poos are a little runny though.
p.s. she had her CDV vaccine on Monday if that would make any differance?
