I just realized that the dangerous disease noted a few months ago on the FML has vanished from the airwaves--has it also vanished from ferrets? Anyone know what it was or is? Thanks for the help with Buttercup. She has had some blood tests and a vaginal wipe and is showing evidence of estrogen beyond that expected in a spayed female. Soon she goes for ultrasound to check out the possibilities. I'm still hoping for a botched spay as I figure that is easier on her. She still shows no signs of illness I'm happy to say. Just 2 months to go and our ferrets are legal--Pennsylvania here we come! Any word on the California case? -- Inigo's and Buttercup's Dad [Posted in FML issue 0477]
