Hooray for you, Sukie! I can't believe you are working so much despite your eye. Of course, take care and be careful of yourself! OK, then it is not ECE, because the antibiotics are helping Lucy (and there have been no new ferrets -- unless she is getting better simply from the hydration. Also, she was on a sulfa drug on and off for about a month, and the periods on were at least 10 days, w the last one being at least 2.5 weeks, so I assume any virus would have been killed -- unless there is reinfection. You are right, the vet school must be investigated right away. Tomorrow I shall call Dr Dawit about their capabilities. [Posted in FML 5969]
