Hi all,
 
My Penelope is 3 and a half years old.  I had an appt to take her to the
doctor for a check up this Saturday, but I have to attend my sister's
confirmation.  I have to delay the appointment til the end of May (next
available opening).  Now, my Penelope is very strong, gets lots of play
time... very active, excellent ferret.  But when I hold her she shakes a
lot.  I know she loves me, not afraid of me, because of all of her other
mannerisms.  But this concerns me, until I get to see the vet does anyone
have any idea what this means?  Is it normal?  I can only think that she
is like this because I got her in August last year from my neighbor who
kept her locked up in a tiny, one level cage all her life and never played
with... I can only imagine what she went through.  He is a very nice guy,
but I believe it was his wife that made him keep her locked up.  I can
only think that him mistreating her gives her the shakes.  Any ideas?
 
Thanks,
Stephanie, Patrick, Penelope and Abe
