I've become quite confused about the practice of descenting among ferret owners. On the one hand, I had believed that it was a common practice, to be done right along with spaying and neutering. But now, I've heard more and more that it should be done "only if absolutely nescessary". Hmmmm.. Which is it? Is it devided pretty much 50%-50% among owners? Speaking personally, I don't think I'd mind the smell a bit (uh... my roommate might, though ;-) but I also don't want to have to worry about scent gland infections, which I've heard are quite common among non-descented animals. Does anyone have any input on this? Thanks :) -Seth ========Seth J. [log in to unmask] This sig does not say anything important.
