I will likely have to be away at Dad and Blanche's for a few days.  My
sister will be there part of the time, too.  It's nothing major, but it's
needed and essential.  If I am not heard from for a few days (most likely
something like from the 1st through the 3rd) don't be surprised, and,
please, forgive me that a few days' vet/expert replies as cross-posts
will have to bunch afterward if they put in info which is new, unusual,
or especially pertinent for those new to ferrets to save ferret lives.
