Some of you may recall I asked what to do about fuzzies with the flu I
gave them.  I received over 50 e-mails answering my question.  Without
exception, every post told me not to worry that, by and large, symptoms go
away after three or four days and to just watch to make sure things don't
get worse.  They didn't.  After five days the fuzzies were all back to
normal.  I think maybe Kelli's vet needs some more study if experiences of
people and ferrets on the FML are valid.
