Hi folks: Is it common for ferrets to suffer from allergies? My Phoebe appears to. Whenever there's dust around, she starts to sneeze and develop congestion. Whenever I open a window, especially in summer, same reaction. A few weeks back I moved from a modern, air-conditioned apartment to a musty old farmhouse, and within a few days Phoebe could hardly breath, developed a severe upper respiratory infection, and even after a course of antibiotics is still stuffed up, dizzy and lethargic. When I brought up the possibility of allergies to the vet, he dismissed it in a rather offhand fashion. Does anyone else have the same experience? Is there an established treatment for allergies in ferrets? I'd like Phoebe to enjoy her new home. Kelly A. [Posted in FML issue 3901]
