Howdy, all.
 
To Laura: I hope you do well with Spook.  I've had two deaf ferrets and
they are actually quite esay to deal with, as long as you use their vision
as a first method to approach them -- don't surprise them from behind...
my Lily was actually deaf AND blind; she was fine as long as you presented
your hand to her from the FRONT and let her realize who you were first.

John: think you need to seriously consider ECE; that's what it sounds like.
Get to a vet quick -- you'll probably need to treat both ferrets....
there's LOTS of information in the FML archives.
 
To California Residents: CONGRATULATIONS on your VERY successful signature
drive.  It's only a matter of time before to F&Gestapo caves.... you're
almost there.
