Hello all, greetings from Jersey in the Channel Islands! I have kept ferrets for a few years, and I recently took in two very sweet rescue cases found in the wild. Both were very poorly with diarrohea and high fevers. Intensive vet. treatment and lots of TLC paid off, they are much recovered eating and drinking well and taking an interest in their environment. (still separated from the others of course). There background is uncertain but the vet found on auscultation that both have a congenital heart murmur, rare, he says, in ferrrets and as these two were found together, he thinks they are siblings, they are certainly very close and adore each other! In all the worry over their acute illness I didn't explore the murmur side of things at all, I know humans can live quite normally. Is there anybody out there who can give me any information? I would be very grateful. Love from Frisky and all her ferts!! [Posted in FML issue 3001]
