The woman making them individualized them according to the gift giver's directions. Our friend has a laid-back (for a rat terrier) dog named Daisy Mae and a zippy and fearless one named Zula, so the maker put a daisy on Daisy Mae's and a Z (like from Zorro) on Zula's.

Three good places for you to start your reading are http://www.miamiferret.org/fhc/insulinoma.htm http://www.afip.org/ferrets/PDF/insulinoma.pdf http://ferrethealth.org/archive/ If those possibilities are not involved you will want to read up on things like ADV (Aleutian Disease), toxoplasmosis, and some other options which will show up when you use the FHL Archives.
