Just wanted to touch on Sukies post about ferrets and colds.  Because so
many other things that are bacterial in nature (sinus infection, strep
throat) and some viral infections such as influenza can mimick the
symptoms of a common cold in it's first few days, it probably best to
err on the side of caution and limit your exposure to your ferrets when
you are feeling under the weather.
