http://www.smartgroups.com/message/readmessage.cfm?gid=1423922 &messageid=5561&startid=5566 Sorry to hear about your ferret's chronic problem. If it is just 1 side of the nose that is having the discharge then tumor (lymphoma) or foreign body would be most likely. The rhinoscopy is the best thing to do to try to find out what is causing the problem. Have you checked with the vet school at The University of Montreal? It sounds like it would be closer to you then going to Guelph. Hope that helps, Jerry [Posted in FML issue 4223]
