Hello folks: My 6 year old boy Odo has had this condition all of his life, though his brother Quark has not. For lack of a better term, it sounds like he has asthma. He gets into these really short quick breath fits every great once in a while (and I mean, it can be months before he has an attack). I don't know what to do during them except hold him on my shoulder so his breathing system is extended (sorry, i can't find the right words). this seems to stop the sneezing, but then it will just start right back up after I've set him down. It's very possible this is just a reaction to the tumble weeds (ala cat fur) that blows around the house, but none of the other 4 ferrets have it. Any assistance would be appreciated. thanks becki kain -- the organic cron job [Posted in FML issue 3396]
