A veterinary health researcher is looking into bladder stones. If you have been having such ferrets recently, could you, please, give the names of food(s) and treats given in the general timeframe when the stones developed, the type of stone if that is known, and if this is an increase a decrease or a similar rate compared to your previous experience. On the other hand, if you have made a dietary change and the stone types decreased could you, please, also give that sort of information? You can send the information to me and I will pass it on to the researcher. Use either [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] Sukie (not a vet) Ferrets make the world a game.
