To Jen Marin:
 
>Jen has brought Tiki to her vet-- he said both conditions were normal and
>that the smell was probably from fleas (?!).
 
    Jen - what about the abdomen is hard - is it a small not in the penile
sheath, or the whole abdomen?  I'm not familiar with fleas giving a ferret
a urine smell - in fact, in most cases, urine gives a ferret a urine smell.
Could Tiki be dribbling urine or marking his territory?
 
    I think we need a bit more information on this one.
