I am worried more than ever now.  Frannie's wheezing and caoughing is back.
I called the vet for advice a few weeks ago, and was told to try a hairball
remedy first.  I did this, and the wheezing went away for a bit.  THen
early this morning, I heard that wet gasping/wheezing noise.  I held her
and gave her some Petromalt, really hoping it was just some hair.  THen
at playtime, I heard full on coughing coming from the girls' tunnel.  I
scrambled to pull Frannie out of the tunnel, and she seemed fine.  I
emptied out some kibble from the tube, but nothing else.
 
What could this coughing be?  Do ferrets get seasonal allergies?  Could
it be something I'm cleaning with?  ( I'm very careful with any cleaning
product, and rinse or wipe thoroughly.) My other girl doesn't cough like
this.  Could it be their food?  I feed them Zupreem and TF mixed.  Could
it be an obstruction, or something worse?  Should I take her in for x rays,
or some other kind of test?
 
Questions, Worries, INSANITY...My sweet little girl... :(
