I don't know if this is off topic or not.  Whopping cough is going around
the midwest.  I know this because all five people in my house got it.
When we went to the doc he said he had seen a suprising number of cases.
I don't know if ferrets can get it.  It starts like a cold and gets worse
from there.  It is a bacteria so antibiotics help.  I just thought I
would say something cause it is no fun to have and even less fun to watch
someone(pets included) be sick.  If ferrets can get it don't hesitate to
go to the vet.
