deaf and 45 were not deaf.

adrenal and insulinoma, 12 ferrets had lymphoma, 5 ferrets had both
lymphoma and adrenal.
 
The oldest submitted ferret was Michael McKinnly's Amy, who when submitted
was still bringing joy to her family at 10 years of age.  Sadly, since the
submission, Amy has danced over the bridge.  Four additional ferrets are 9
(2 others have passed on).  3 ferrets are 8.5 and  5 ferrets are 8.  9
ferrets are 7.  Congratulations to the oldsters and their owners!
 
Most ferrets had 6 incisors on top and between 6 to 4 on the bottom.  There
were others with less and others with more, but very few.
 
About 75% of the ferrets had normal length of tail, 20% had long tails and
5% had short tails.
 
9 ferrets could not see from both eyes.  3 were due to accidents.
