I want to thank you for your advice - we called our vet (Dr. Edling), have
put her on keflex & carfate, and have an appointment for a CXR Sat.
morning.
Since the mishap on Wed, her health has gone down hill - we've been having
trouble with bloody stools, and refusal to eat or drink (whichs been in rare form these past several weeks. I
even introduced her to raisins (thanks FML). She is such a finicky eatter
(Meow Mix or NOTHING). At first, she ate a couple raisins and seemed to
like them. But now, politely takes them from me [...]46_12Oct199409:53:34-0400(EDT)

just thought.. anyway, it won't happen again. Tracy

[log in to unmask], 12 Oct 94 11:00:36 EST557_- Re: Bad odors from ears:
There are all gradations of "bad odors". What smells bad to one person
may be okay for another, and may even be normal for a ferret. Ferrets have
large numbers of scent glands in and around the ears which may produce a heavy
scent. Also, ferrets with a large buildup of ear wax, from various causes, can
also have a heavy odor to them. And then there is the occasional bacterial or
yeast infection in the ear, which usually follows a precipitating cause - ear
mites, water in the ears,etc. [...]45_12Oct9411:00:

[log in to unmask], 12 Oct 1994 12:00:54 -0500630_- Hello World!
I have been on the FML for quite a while and have sat silent about the
following ignorance of mine. I would like to set it straight. When
we are talking about ferret noises what exactly are the Dook-Dook,
Cluck-Cluck, hissing, chuckling, chittering, and other noises? Are they
self-explanatory?
My ferret, Snoopy, hisses when we play tug-of-war or when she seems
frustrated about something (i.e. not being able to fit a huge sponge
through the hole to her hidy-place). Another ferret owner was
playing with Snoop and heard her make a funny noise when he rubbed her
belly. [...]44_12Oct199412:00:

You'll probably get alot of replies on this one! Our ferrets have lived for
8 and 10 years respectively (i.e., two that died). They certainly slow down
noticeably after 3-4 years of age, but they are far from senile! How long
a ferret will live depends on many factors, some of them beyond your control.
I know that rabbits kept in inadequate cages are regarded as having a
lifespan of ~5 years, whereas pet rabbits of the same strains, kept in
more spacious quarters live for up to 15 years! I suspect that the same
would be true [...]
