Hello All, I haven't been on here in many years, I have a 7 year old female I rescued along with her siblings as infants as raised. I released the others and kept her as she was non releasable, she has neurological issues. I am not a licensed rehabber, but I have always done the best I could with her and I love her so much. She has always done amazing, and I have never had any issues with her.
A little background on the last couple of days, she has a huge ferret nation cage as her house, I have put several together, she has a level dedicated as her bed with blankets, levels, perches, things to lounge on, hammocks, ropes. She has things to chew on and climb on. Several days ago, as on of her favorite activities she was jumping around and when she landing on one of her perches, the screws came loose and her and the perch went to the bottom of the cage. She landed on her feet, seemed a little stunned, but mostly just seemed to sulk that she broke her perch, but otherwise, still normal and eating.
Saturday she seemed fine, I gave her some veggies, she ate everything I gave her. We went out that evening, I came home, gave her some avocado, she ate it.
On Sunday, we had some severe storms, some of the worst thunder and lighting we have had in a long time and hail, it was during Sunday that I had tried to offer her something that she declined it. Which it very unlike her, I offered her avocado and she declined it, she has never done this. I started noticing that she was breathing very heavy and laying in places she doesn't normally. This has gone on through the night and to today, she wont sleep in her bed, she has been laying in the bottom on the cage. She wont take anything I give her. I have been trying to keep it dark and quiet, offer her liquids, she will take some sips. I have blankets everywhere. I don't understand what happened to my girl. :sadness She was fine. Could she of had a stroke?
