About a year ago, Greta started having coughing and wheezing "attacks".  I
brought her to a vet with limited knowledge of ferrets (for lack of knowing
of a vet that knows ferrets) and he said he thought she has asthma.  He
gave me an antihistamine (Chlorpheniramine?) to give to her when she has
a problem breathing.  So far it has seemed to work.  She only gets these
"atttacks" maybe once or twice a month, and when I give her a pill, she
gets better right away.
 
I'm just wondering if anyone has heard of this before.  Is this diagnosis
correct or could it be something else?  I guess I shouldn't be too concerned
since I seem to have it under control-just curious.  (Interestingy, I was
just diagnosed with asthma and so far they can't find anything to treat me
with that works!)
 
Tuesday night is when "America's Greatest Pets" is on (8:00 central time).
I would think it will be loaded with ferret sightings since we all KNOW
that ferrets are America's GREATEST pets!!!  My eyes will be pealed...

that can breathe right?)   &  Greta (Stuff a sock in it!... wheeze,
wheeze :o( ..)
