Hello from Sunny Seattle!
 
This is a public thank - you to Dr. Cindy Bishop, DVM at the Animal
Emergency & Referral Center in Lynnwood, WA.  She treated our first sick
ferret case, Bandit, who came down with sudden symptoms of a bad cold late
Sunday evening.  Bandit's symptoms came on without warning and with great
severity; ragged breathing and squirming uncomfortably, with whimpering
that could have broken the hardest of hearts.  Dr. Bishop successfully
treated Bandit with the kind of loving care indicative of a fellow ferret
owner ...
 
I have a question to present to the fellow ferret owners: What can we
give to our Bear as a treat?  He does not like any ferret treats at all;
raisins, commercially made treats, or any sort of foodstuffs that we have
tried.  Bear does not even like Ferretone or other normally sought - after
ferret supplements.  His brothers, Bandit and Blitz, love any kind of treat
we give them.  We feel as though Bear is being "cheated" out of treat time
when we dispense the yummy fare to his two brothers.  Bear LOVES his red
ping - pong ball and those small pocket sized packages of tissues (he loves
to hide them all over the place!)
 
Any ideas would be welcome and much appreciated.
