Anybody out there with non-descented ferrets who might be able to help? Here in Germany, they don't automatically remove the anal glands in pet ferrets, it's considered unnecessarily cruel. It's really not a big deal with our boy, but we've been having problems with his sister now since the beginning of the year (they are 3.5 years old). Sometimes she seems to get an "ooze" and smells like a constant poof. The vet we consulted theorized that her poop wasn't firm enough which would lead to not enough pressure on her glands. Somehow this would lead to them being clogged? She suggested that I try different kinds of kitten food as a supplement to her ferret food (Totally Ferret) to see if that helped firm her up. She expressed her glands while I was there and they WERE clogged. Her poops really aren't very loose, except for the once in a while upset, and we haven't seen any progress in the stinky department. Any ideas or experiences? Thanks, Emily [Posted in FML issue 4671]
