Hi to Everyone, Been a few days behind again. My other half has a tendency to play with the computer and really did a good job. This time he even tried to blame the ferrets! About the wiggly ball - have two of them, one ferret size, and one dog size. Great toy. I also have a strange question. We, like a lot of other people, occasionally give our ferrets banana chips as treats. Recently someone told me that they are coated with aluminum as a preservative. Does anyone know of or have any information on this. Took Zeus in to see his favorite vet today. Last night I discovered a small lump on his skin and it was black in color {PANIC}. Well the vet took a look and said it appeared to be a cyst. He said he would just take a small blood sample to make sure everything was o.k. Are you ready for this one? As soon as the vet put the needle in it popped. Diagnoses - Blood Blister from a pinch. Who would of known. One day I'd like to brag about our vet Dr. Schott in Winnipeg. He is one of the most driven vets I have ever seen in the area of animal care, and I wouldn't think twice about sending anyone with a ferret or any other animal to him. Well gotta go.
