Okay this is me pretending to be brainy. ::Wolfy puts on big eye glasses, sips her soda, and sits up straight with lips pursed:: See? This is me being smart... or trying to look so. I have something I wanted to ask you all and I was really interested in a disussion. I realize that all ferrets can get adrenal. It doesn't seem to matter if the ferret is from Marshall Farms, England, or is an Angora. They all can get it. What is news to me as of late, is that ferrets under age three can get it. My preconcieved idea was that, okay, ferrets age 5 and over were more prone to it, and ferrets that were say,,, three got it in unusual cases. Well that is not true. On the FHL it was reported to me that not only do three year olds get it far more than what I ever thought, but that a ferret as young as one is capable of getting it (although the rates go down as the age of the ferret goes down). That being said here is my question: Do people think,,,, that the rate of adrenal in "young ferrets" (ferrets 3 and under) is any lower in say... late alters, or any other bloodlines (say german ferrets for example). Yes? No? Maybe? No? Yes? Which?! (Doing my best Corky Romano imitation). LOL. So for example, do you think an early altered ferret is as prone to getting adrenal at say age two or three than a very late altered ferret. Do you think that an Sweedish bloodlined ferret is as likely to get adrenal at a young age and so forth? Has anyone taken informal polls or data collecting on this online? Yes? No? A little? A lot? Maybe? Wolfy ... outta smart juice Wolfy's site has MOVED to: http://wolfysluv.jacksnet.com/ Wolfy Wolfy's site has MOVED to: http://wolfysluv.jacksnet.com/ [Posted in FML issue 3985]
