Re: Corny goes to the vet
Tttaylorrr,
Good luck!
I think a poop sample will get you 95% of what you want to know.
In my experience, most things that will come up in a poop sample can be treated and fairly easily, like parasites.
The more you know the better you are. Just be prepared to get Corny what he needs and make sure they show you how to administer any treatment if they aren't going to do it for you. If you are expected to do it, let them show you and have you do it at the vet, so you feel comfortable.
Good luck again and keep us in the loop!
Re: Corny goes to the vet
I assume you’ll update us on where you took him?
Our dog-vet recommended Midwest Bird & Exotic Animal Hospital. Under new ownership and moved since I took my ferrets 20+ years ago, so no personal experience with the current incarnation. :)

anyways i would just add that u might wanna setup a QT and keep him in there until everything checks out ok. i hope everything turns out well.
he's just Corny! [emoji14]
that's a good idea, thank you. i'll be sure to move him into a separate room.

Sun coming thru car windows, as well as other unplanned temperature "fails" have happened, so don't be "one of them".
Hope it's an easy fix, get well Corny! :gj:
okay, thanks for the tips!
