Hi everybody and Happy Turkey Day,
 
Well, it appears one of me ferts has a cold.  My husband stated our Puglsy
was breathing funny while I was at work.  He's eating and drinkind plenty of
water and still active.  Of course, I got home as soon as possible and was
very worried.  Well, as soon as I went to the cage (we seperated him from
the others for now) ACHOO and his little nose looked alittle runny and
stuffed up.  Definitely looks like a cold to me BUT I've never had a ferret
with a cold(first winter) so I went ahead and made an appointment with the
Vet.  The vet appointment is MONDAY.  The only other day they had was early
Friday and I have to be at work and I'm the skeleton crew so I can't take
off.  Gee, the vet couldn't even give me suggestions til then, "Sorry we
have to see him" I wish I got the other receptionist.  She has lots of
ferrets and is very friendly.  Anyway, I'm a very worried mom and I hope all
it is is a cold.  But in the meantime, Monday is a long way, Does anybody
have any suggestions for a cold?  How long does a cold usually last?  (this
morning he popped right out of bed and gave me the "let me out look" with no
stuffy nose, though it was considerably dry air today.  My nose was dried
up.) I thought maybe he sounded like he was breathing funny because his nose
was stuffed up and was breathing funny, Keep in mind I did not hear it.
Regardless, I'm not taking any chances, but of course I have to wait til
Monday!  Unless his mood changes, stops eating, etc then I'll call the
emergency.  I would greatly appreciate any response.  Thank you.....

Pugsly - Achoo lets hit mommy with some snots
Ricky - Let me out so I can sleep in my favorite spot.
Sunshine - Oh look I can climb the outside of the cage now
Smokey - Why is Puglsy sleeping all by himself?
