I have lost a few ferrets over the last several years and find myself down to two. They are both albinos, one is almost five and the other about three. I would like to adopt a third. There is a young sable boy at Ferretaid that I could adopt. He has just now grown his" male parts" and is due to be neutered in about three weeks. He has been very ill with ECE, but has recovered. I know there is always ECE going around at the shelter and there is always a risk. I have adopted most of mine from there and have never had a problem. My two current ferrets have not actually come from the shelter, but have been with former ferrets from there, so could possibly have been exposed. Is there more of a risk because we know that this boy has actually had ECE? I do not want to lose one or both of my ferrets because I brought home this boy. I have never had experience with ECE. I could use your advice, thoughts, experience.... Thank you so much. Liz [Posted in FML 6659]
