Does anyone out there with ferrets have CFIDS? Do your ferrets get sick when you do? I have this immune disorder and pick up cold and flu viruses constantly and whenever I get sick, Rocky gets sick, too, and often to the same extent. (Please don't suggest I wash my hands, I already wash them at least 30 x a day because I'm always picking up Rocky's poop papers.) If I had known this would be a problem before I got Rocky, I wouldn't have gotten a ferret (though I didn't have much choice since a friend gave him to me as a birthday present). Also, I didn't know until I got Rocky that I was picking up lots of different viruses as I always have the same symptoms and they are not the same as normal colds/flus. Looking for Akiko and Chobi--I have been having computer problems and lost your email address. Please email me. To Sukie: I liked your recent article in Ferrets. Was that a picture of you? Condolences to all with sick or angel fuzzies. Shron & Rocky [Posted in FML issue 4047]
