Hi All - I have a 1.5 year old neuter male, not descented, who has swollen
scent glands.  He is eating, playing and evacuating normally.  So, I hot
packed him and managed to gently squeeze out some fluid (as one would with
a dog with impacted anals) - <ugh, stinky!!!> which didn't seem to cause
him any stress.  This morning swelling is much less, but still noticeable.
 
Any ideas or suggestions?  Since we have a dearth of ferret knowledgeable
vets here, I need some advice and couldn't find anything on the net.
 
Thanks in advance!
