Howdy!  One of my ferrets (4.5 yr old sable female) may have a medical
problem.  Last week I noticed there was a slight mucoid discharge,
greenish yellow in color, matting the fur around her genital area.  She
was neutered and descented as a kit and hasn't had any health problems.
She seems OK, but I'm worried about infection.  Are ferrets susceptable to
uro-genital infection?  Any information would be dearly appreciated, as I
can help direct the vet's attention to this information when I take her in
for an exam.  Also if anyone has a recommendation for a good vet in
Albuquerque, N.M.  that is knowledgeable about ferrets, I would really
appreciate the tip.
 
Thanks, ya'll.
 
M.S.
