Dear Ulrike:

What an interesting litany of inflammatory disease.  Sorry that I haven't
replied sooner, but have had a number of problems preventing me from
getting to the FML.
 
Can you answer a couple of questions - are these indoor or outdoor ferrets
and how are they maintained?  Also, have any of the abscesses been
cultured, and what organisms were identified?
 
With kindest regards,
Bruce Williams, dVM
