Boum Boum is deaf, he is a DEW.  However, he was a panda when we got him,
by the time he was 3 years old, he was almost completely white.

Through persistent insistence that this didn't seem to be so, they found
a "ferret test" they can do to determine if there is an actual ferret
allergy.  They have to draw blood and send it to the Mayo clinic,it costs
$68 and is covered by insurance as any other allergy test.  The test was
labled as " 1 Allergen Specific IGE,86003 ".  I was surprised to learn how
many doctors and people in general were unaware of this particular test.
