Difficulty with urination can be a sign of adrenal in ferrets, especially male ferrets. This was the only sign my ferret Cully gave of his adrenal disease--no hair loss, no noticably increased aggressiveness (he was always aggressive, so it would have been hard to tell anyway). I would place adrenal disease high on the list of possible problems--and it's good you're getting him to the vet right away, because as I'm sure you can imagine difficulty with urination can become life-threatening. good luck, Regina Regina Harrison [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask] http://www.channel1.com/users/regina/ blog: http://www.channel1.com/users/regina/zblog.html Is that my business? Well, what is my business? Do I know? Did I ever know? Let s not go into that. You re not human tonight, Marlowe. Maybe I never was or ever will be... Maybe we all get like this in the cold half-lit world where always the wrong thing happens and never the right. --Raymond Chandler, The Little Sister [Posted in FML issue 3917]
