Just so folks know, I don't have any unusual knowledge for someone who
has been around ferrets for a long time; I am just pretty good at looking
things up so have done that for a number of ferret people and even some
vets.  For a while, though, I will continue to not have a lot of spare
time, so prefer that people try themselves to find their answers or do
the best thing by asking their veterinary experts on health issues and
the list members for the rest.  A lot of people here have great info,
and no one can beat a ferret veterinarian for health info.  That is why
I wrote my "Oh, no!" post.
