Dr. Williams:
 
 
   Thank you *very* much for those comments.  It's good to know that Zeb
*probably* doesn't actually have cancer.  As soon as the pathology report
comes back I'll post here with the results.
 
   Zeb Status Update: As of yesterday, Colleen (my wife) and our vet cleared
Zeb for reintroduction to the rest of the "Gang of 5".  The others are
amazing--they recognize that Zeb is still somewhat sick and are treating him
like Ferret Royalty!  No fights, no battles, no harrassment--just lots of
love and ear-cleaning.  Amazing animals.
 
   Thanks also to everybody who's sent us e-mail of support and
encouragement.
