Ferret Master Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 My oldest ferret often goes into a very deep sleep and scares me senseless at least once a week when she lies limp in my hands for sometimes up to a minute before slowly opening an eye as if to say 'what?'

henry d Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 If they`re well fed and getting on in years, 4-5 yrs old, then they seem to be comatose at times, my 13yr old spaniel is like that now and only some of it is attributable to deafness.

Yep, my cocker is twelve now, she still behaves like a puppy for the whole day when out beating or shooting, she just sleeps soundly for two days after! She, like most spaniels has always had selective hearing, i.e. "I don't want to do that so I didn't hear it", but now she is almost totally deaf. Does anyone know if this is caused by hearing gunshots for most of their lives, or do all dogs suffer from deafness in old age, as do most people? I would imagine that being close to the gun has accelerated the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
