Hi All, Hugs and prayers to all fuzzies and their slaves. Coughing Ferret: We have a ferret who coughs a lot. We have had him checked and on different meds. Nothing has helped. His lungs are clear and there is no leakage from his nose or eyes. We have tried several different litters and his bedding is only clothe. We use a non perfume or bleach cleaner for their bedding and still he coughs. The vet thinks he is allergic to something, we just can't figure it out. He is healthy otherwise and can outrun the rest of them (we have 4 total) We have also had his throat checked to make sure there is nothing caught in there. As long as you have done all you can and you ferret is healthy otherwise I would not worry. I am becoming convinced that some ferrets do cough for no apparent reason. Biting ferret: Lot's of love and attention will eventually work. We have one who would attack for no reason, even with the apple bitter spray. We learned very quickly to say no when he bit and then to hold him close (with his face away from us) and to kiss and love him and then we would give him a little treat. He is a wonderful ferret now and even gives the best kisses. Hug you fuzzies, we don't have a lot of time with them. Bless you all Vi and the gang [Posted in FML issue 2991]
