I was at that show and notices my kids were sick a few days after.  Since
it hadn't cleared up even though they were showing signs of improvement,
I decided to take one of them to the vet just to be sure.  My vet is
confident it's ECE.  They are on amoxycillin, as well as getting my
undivided attention.  They were perfectly healthy before the show.  Most of
my ferrets are under a year old, so hopefully they'll recover from it with
no problems.  But, of course, I'm still really worried about them.  If you
were at this show and now your kids are sick, please contact me via ICQ
#1654513.  I'm just rather interested in seeing just how many ferrets are
now sick.
