Someone asked is Petco is selling ferrets...In Arizona they do.  I bought
Snoopy about a year ago (Never any in the shelters when I'm looking :(  )
 
Now here's my question- Snoopy is active, very active, today he spent 20
minutes jumping straight into the air at my closet doors.  He eats, he
drinks, he loves his raisins.  He is very smart but has always been what I
call skittish.  He goes catatonic at the sound of the vaccuum cleaner and
takes at least 15 minutes to come out of it (even with raisins).  He has
always had loose stools compared to my other two.  Often they were grainy or
mucosy and often had a green tinge.  We call this "splooty bottom" and
Snoopy is The Splootiest.  Lately he seems thinner than usual...It's August,
could he be losing his winter weight now?  His non-biological brother
recently went UP a pound?
 
I'm taking him to the vets in a few weeks for his distemper shot ( a
nerve-wracking time because last year he was given a dog combination vaccine
and nearly died) so I don't know whether to wait or not?  Does this sound
normal?  (Am I paranoid?  Yes but that doesn't mean they aren't out to get
me. :q )
 
Thanks for your help.
