Hi Robin I have a new ferret from a shelter here in Holland, the shelter vet said he has a heart murmur, I am taking him to my own vet, Hanneke Moorman this afternoon for an ECG and castration, He is a young ferret so I also, would like to know what effects the murmur will have on his life, I will talk to Hanneke about it and let you know tomorrow Regards Stephenie Netherlands [Posted in FML issue 4842]
