Since the person says the ferret is behaving like in rut but not showing testicles a vet needs to see if there are retained testicles. In that case surgery may be needed. Secondly, I think the concerns about Nell's posts AND more importantly about her safety would go away if she would set and publicly name her final date for leaving --at which point her representatives in Ethiopia would take over. In private she has spoken of this, but a public statement could ease concerns for all. Finally, a great many thanks to the FML member who suggested Aloe Vesta from Convatec for me to keep my hair decent for the week after my eye implant surgery is done. I will preserve her privacy and just say that I tested a range of products and every dry shampoo tried was horrid. This product works very well, though. I just dampen my head w a moist washcloth, put on a little of that foam, wrk it through w fingers and then moist washcloth, and towel dry. It is almost like a real shampoo in results. A win!
